A year ago, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell showed up at the team’s facility the day after the final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers took place. After taking a physical, Bell eventually signed his franchise tag that following Monday, September 4, and the Steelers then asked for and received a two week roster exemption for him.
As of 4:00 p.m. EST today, however, Bell has yet to show up at the Steelers facility and general manager Kevin Colbert was asked during an interview on 93.7 The Fan if he now knows exactly when the team’s franchise tagged running back will show up this year.
