Steelers OL David DeCastro: 'It Doesn't Matter' If Le'Veon Bell Reports

Following Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's lead in addressing the absence of All–Pro running back Le'Veon Bell, Steelers offensive lineman David DeCastro says it doesn't matter in Bell returns to the team.

Bell has not played this season as he is seeking a long–term deal. He still hasn't signed his $14.5 million franchise tender and has until Nov. 13 to report if he wants to play this season.

The Steelers can continue to play hardball with Bell as ESPN reports the team can slap the transition tag on him following this season, allowing the Steelers to match any offer Bell receives from another team.
