The Pittsburgh Steelers were unable to come to terms with running back Le’Veon Bell on a long term contract extension, and so he is set to play the 2017 season under the franchise tag. There is some speculation he might hold out through training camp, but regardless, his thoughts on his contract are rather intriguing.
Bell reportedly was offered a deal that would average over $12 million per year, with $30 million paid in the first two years, and $42 million over three years, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Bell instead decided to play on the $12.
