Maybe that’s aggressive. Le’Veon Bell isn’t the only one in this negotiations, and from what we’re hearing, he isn’t the reason they haven’t signed him to a long-term deal. Kind of.
Pittsburgh has the funds to meet Bell’s needs. He realistically wants something around $15 million, and the Steelers have the cap space.
But they’re holding back. This team isn’t interested in working something out right now, and no one really knows the reason. It could be that Bell isn’t being as easy going as reports say. It could also be that they aren’t as interested in keeping Bell around as long as some want.
