Steelers Disappointed Over Le'Veon Bell No Show
“We are disappointed Le'Veon Bell has not signed his franchise tender and rejoined his teammates," said general manager Kevin Colbert in a statement Monday. "Coach Tomlin and the coaching staff will continue to focus on preparing the players on our roster for our regular season opener on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns."
Bell was a no-show at the team's facility Monday and has a $14.5-million franchise tender waiting for him.
Last season, Bell took his physical Sept. 1 and showed up for practice Sept. 4, a Monday, before playing a full season on a $12.12-million franchise tag.
It is too early to say how this situation will impact the Week 1 game versus Cleveland. It is enough of a distraction to cause line fluctuations, however. That is exactly what we were seeing on Monday as oddsmakers work feverishly to get a handle on this matter.
