Le'Veon Bell may not return to the Pittsburgh Steelers this season after all.
According to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, there is a "real possibility" that Bell won't sign his franchise tender and will sit the entire 2018 campaign:
"A source confirmed to The Athletic that Bell is now contemplating whether or not he will show up by the Nov. 13 franchise tag deadline based on newly learned information from the collective bargaining agreement that would allow him to be deemed as a third-year franchise player in 2019 rather than to revert to the second year, even if he doesn't report.
