Impending free agent running back Le’Veon Bell is in the news today due to comments made by Pittsburgh general manager Kevin Colbert.
According to Colbert, the Steelers will NOT be using the franchise tag or transition tag on Bell. Colbert went as far to say that Bell will be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year opens at 4:00 PM Eastern on March 13.
Following this development, NFL insider Jason La Canfora mentioned the Philadelphia Eagles “could be” among the teams involved in pursuing Bell as a free agent.
