When Jeremy Fowler of ESPN posted a Tweet on Monday evening suggesting that Le’Veon Bell intended reporting to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7, his initial assertion that the information had come from an unnamed company source made the claim feel somewhat speculative. In reality, the ESPN source was himself after he had spoken to Bell in Florida by telephone earlier in the day.
I just spoke to Le'Veon Bell, who got into everything -- the decision, how Earl Thomas injury confirmed he made the right one, why he doesn't expect to be traded and why he's holding out hope he'll be a Steeler long-term.
