In 2018, the Steelers season imploded from within. Well before Antonio Brown bailed on his team during the final, must-win game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals, Le’Veon Bell made plans to sit out the year. However, those plans didn’t involve informing his coaches and teammates of his decision.
Fast forward a year, and Pittsburgh watched Bell rush for a career-low 3.2 yards per carry on the New York Jets. Bell is looking like a running back who should have never been paid good money, and the Steelers dodged a bullet when the former All-Pro didn’t accept their generous contract offer.
