Steelers, RB Le'Veon Bell fail to reach agreement

The Pittsburgh Steelers and running back LeVeon Bell failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension before Monday's 4 PM franchise tag deadline, and his agent says that means it is likely Bell's last season with the team.

"His intention was to retire as a Steeler," Adisa Bakari told ESPN's Adam Schefter. "But now that there's no deal, the practical reality is, this now likely will be Le'Veon's last season as a Steeler."

Fantasy Impact: 

Bell will play on the franchise tag for the second consecutive year barring an unforeseen development. He tweeted after Monday's deadline passed that "2018 will be my best season to date."

Steelers Beat: RB Le'Veon Bell could decide to stay away into season

From the player’s perspective, the ultimate leverage isn’t staying away until Labor Day; it’s staying away until the Tuesday after Week 10.

That’s the deadline for LeVeon Bell's arrival and acceptance of the franchise tender. Specifically, if Bell shows up before then, he gets $14.5 million (or $852,000 for each of the 17 weeks he’s with the team). If he shows up after then, he can’t; he’d be done for the year.

Adam Schefter of ESPN said this morning on SiriusXM NFL Radio that it’s “possible” Bell stays away until the middle of the year. Of course it’s possible. But the far more important question is whether it’s likely.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story said Bell would lose $8.5 million if he holds out for 10 games. He'd also have no leverage because the Steelers wouldn't be able to sign him until after the regular season at that point. The deadline for a deal is 4 p.m. Monday.

Tomlin: Steelers, RB Le'Veon Bell want to get a deal done

Appearing at the Hampton Roads Youth Foundation football camp over the weekend, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin told WAVY Channel 10 that he would like the Steelers to sign LeVeon Bell to a long-term contract before Monday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.

"Obviously we want to get a deal done, he wants to get a deal done; everybody has said that," said Tomlin, who returns to his hometown of Hampton, Virginia, every summer for the camp. "Now it's just about the negotiators getting into a room and doing what it is they need to do. I'm excited and hopeful. Hopefully we'll have some exciting news before Monday."

Fantasy Impact: 

As the Steelers and Bell are pressed against the deadline for the second straight year, the running back is prepared to play on this year's tag—worth $14.5 million—in the absence of what he considers a fair deal. Bell told ESPN this offseason that he won't sign an extension offer worth less than the tag number on an annual basis. Talks stalled in the spring after Bell turned down an offer, but both sides reopened negotiations over the past week, according to the story.

If Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell doesn't sign by Monday, camp holdout possible

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk broke down Le'Veon Bell's contract situation with the Steelers. This was notable: "This year, if the Steelers and LeVeon Bell don’t do a long-term deal by Monday at 4 p.m. ET, many presume he’ll holdout for most of camp again. And while it’s useful for Bell to have the Steelers think it will happen that way (since it creates more of an incentive to sign him), there’s a case to be made for Bell showing up for training camp and the preseason.

If Monday’s deadline passes without Bell signing a long-term deal, Bell will have a clear path to the open market in March 2019, because the Steelers would have to apply the quarterback tender if he’s franchise-tagged a third time. So if that’s the post-July 16 scenario, Bell arguably would have an incentive to be as prepared as possible to have the best season he can, maximizing his value as he prepares for his better-late-than-never shot at unrestricted free agency."

Fantasy Impact: 

The story pointed out that Bell produced nice numbers—1,291 rushing yards and 655 receiving yards—last year, but he struggled out of the gate with just 32 rushing yards in the team's first game, and a 3.2 YPC in the team's first two games, along with just one score over the first three weeks of the season.
