It’s too early to tell whether or not running back Le’Veon Bell burned any bridges with his teammates on the Pittsburgh Steelers when he failed to show up for practice yesterday when they expected him to, though it’s pretty clear he’s done some damage.
The thing it, it could have pretty easily been avoided. Every professional player understands that every other player has to go about their business and look out for themselves. That is why you don’t see players commenting on their teammates’ contract status. Bell made himself an exception yesterday, and for one simple reason: he wasn’t upfront about it.
