Good Thursday to you Steelers’ fans!
Yesterday was the first official day in which NFL teams could place a Franchise or Transition Tag on players. The Steelers have not used this since they used it (Transition) on Jason Worilds in 2014. Obviously the discussion this time around centers on Le’Veon Bell who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent when that period begins next month. I believe the Steelers will use the “Non-Exclusive” Franchise Tag on Bell which means he could negotiate with other teams but the Steelers could match any offer and if they chose not to, they would get two first round draft picks in return.
