How Le’Veon Bell’s stalled contract extension affects the Falcons

Star RB Le’Veon Bell, yet again, stalled in his talks with the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday, putting the running back on track to hit free agency next March.

On the surface, this is just intriguing league news for general fans, and a headache for the Terrible Towels, but this actually could impact Atlanta’s future in more than one way.

First, consider this Adam Schefter speculation.

Whoa.

"I think it's possible Le'Veon Bell sits out first half of the year if he doesn't get a long term deal done." -@AdamSchefter on @SiriusXMNFL.
