Le'Veon Bell really has to be salivating at the thought of free agency now.
It's not that Bell seems desperate to leave the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the new contract Todd Gurley and the Los Angeles Rams have just agreed to likely has reset the running back market in Bell's favor.
The former Michigan State star will be playing on the franchise tag for the Steelers for the second straight season -- worth $14.5 million guaranteed -- and reportedly has been targeting a long-term deal starting there annually.
Well, the 23-year-old Gurley has a four-year, $60 million extension from the Rams, which includes a record $45 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
