July 16th.
Just 11 days away as of the writing of this article, and an important date for the Pittsburgh Steelers and their All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell.
If you didn’t know, the two parties have until the 16th to finalize a long-term contract, or else Bell will be forced to play the 2018 season under the Exclusive Rights Franchise Tag for the second straight season — netting him roughly $14.5 million dollars.
Everyone has their own opinions on this subject, but when a former Steelers running back, and Hall of Famer, chimes in — people listen.
