Not that it matters much at this point, but some new information surfaced on Friday regarding the contract the Pittsburgh Steelers offered running back Le’Veon Bell this past offseason that he chose not to accept. And quite honestly, the latest report really matches what I have speculated the Steelers offer in the way of first-year money would be, and likely was, to Bell since the 2017 season ended.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk on Friday, the Steelers best contract offer to Bell during the offseason included the running back being paid $47 million through the first three years of the deal.
