Le’Veon Bell Update: Steelers Have No Idea What He Will Do
News and notes to know heading into Week 10…
1. The Steelers are still waiting to hear from Le’Veon Bell and his camp on his plan for this week, per sources. What can we tell you definitively? The quarterback franchise tag (projected at about $24 million) is, as you’d expect, not in play for 2019. But the transition tag, which should land at about $9.6 million, could be—the Steelers just haven’t discussed it yet. That tag would give the team matching rights, but there’d be no compensation coming back if they were to decline another team’s offer sheet. Either way, Bell will be hitting the market for real in 2019.
