Roethlisberger Says He Reached Out To Bell Tuesday, Didn’t Hear Back

Ben Roethlisberger, like most of you, I’m sure, is tired of talking about Le’Veon Bell. Thankfully, the “will he, won’t he” about him showing up was answered yesterday. Though that was the expected outcome based on weekend reports, Roethlisberger did note he reached out to Bell before the 4 PM deadline.

“I texted him yesterday before the deadline, telling him I was hoping he would show up,” he told reporters Wednesday morning. “And if he decided not to, I wished him nothing but the best. He was a great teammate and great football player.
