Pittsburgh Steelers, Le’Veon Bell, and the failed contract negotiations

For Le’Veon Bell, the Pittsburgh Steelers and their fans, 4pm Monday was high noon. Time was ticking to get the long term deal all parties wanted to get done.

By 4:01 it was over. No deal. And after 2018, no Bell.

Now comes all the questions. When will Bell report? Will he only play half a season? How far apart were they? Who is to blame?

to all my Steeler fans, my desire always has been to retire a Steeler…both sides worked extremely hard today to make that happen, but the NFL is a hard business at times…to the fans that had hope, I’m sorry we let youu down but trust me, 2018 will be my best season to date…
