According to Adam Schefter yesterday, the Pittsburgh Steelers are ‘listening’ to trade offers from teams for running back Le’Veon Bell. This is probably not news. I’m sure they have been ‘listening’ all along. They always listen. And they always say that they always listen whenever they are asked. People just forget.
So the idea that a trade for Bell is somehow more imminent as of yesterday than it was the day before is probably erroneous at best. The reality is that the circumstances have not changed, nor have the requisite parameters of a deal actually getting done that is equitable for both sides.
