The Pittsburgh Steelers and running back Le’Veon Bell were not able to agree to terms on a long-term extension prior to Tuesday’s deadline for applying the franchise tag, which means that he is currently on the books for the franchise tag value of over $14.5 million as the two sides continue to work toward a long-term deal that, for many, seems unlikely to happen.
Given the circumstances, it goes without saying that a lot of the running back’s live Instagram session yesterday, in which he answered fans’ questions, centered around his contract situation and his beliefs about what he is worth.
