Good Tuesday to you Steelers’ Fans!
We are now less than a week away from the franchise tag deadline which means that if the Steelers and Le’Veon Bell can’t reach a long-term deal by that point then Bell plays 2017 for $12.12 million. Somewhat forgotten in the last couple of weeks have been Stephon Tuitt and Alejandro Villanueva who are in some ways being ‘held hostage.’ I say this because it’s highly doubtful (not impossible but doubtful) that their deals get done before the franchise deadline passes. In a perfect world, the Steelers would get these deals done soon but this is far from a perfect world.
