Many many people in and around Pittsburgh breathed a heavy sigh of relief when 4PM on Tuesday finally passed, signaling the official end of the main part of the Le’Veon Bell saga, in that it confirmed that the running back would not be playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018, ending weekly speculation over whether or not he would report.
But veteran running back Stevan Ridley may have been the most relieved of all, as one of the most likely candidates to be released if Bell did end up coming back to the team.
