Evidently Le'Veon Bell is going to hold out, won't play against the Browns. Idiot's going to give up at least one $853,000 game check.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/steelers-anticipating-a-lengthy-absence-by-leveon-bell-as-holdout-enters-regular-season/Steelers brass is moving forward as if running back Le'Veon Bell will not available for at least the first four-to-six weeks of the season, according to league sources, and have been given no indication the Pro Bowl running back will be reporting anytime soon.
Bell has yet to sign his $14.5 million franchise tag and seems intent on skipping a substantial portion of the season -- and forgoing those game checks -- to mitigate the risk of injury as he pursues a record contract elsewhere in the offseason. The Steelers placed the franchise tag on Bell for a second straight year, with Bell walking away from an offer that would have paid him $48 million over the first three years.
