    Default Le'Veon won't play for Steelers this year, declines to sign franchise tag

    PITTSBURGH – For all intents and purposes, the Le’Veon Bell era in Pittsburgh appears to have ended.

    In a move that will likely propel the Steelers running back into free agency in the offseason, Bell won’t sign the team’s franchise tag tender on Tuesday. As a result of not signing before the league’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, Bell won’t be eligible to play the remainder of this season and will once again qualify for free agency in March.

    The Steelers will have the option to designate Bell as their franchise player again this offseason, but the one-year salary tied to Bell’s third straight franchise tag is expected to exceed $25 million, a payout believed to be far too prohibitive for a Pittsburgh return.

    That, and his replacement is doing just as well. He sees the writing on the wall.

    Yep, Connor is tearing it up while he has been out. Steelers dont really need Bell anymore.

    What kind of compensatory pick do they get for a Franchise player that doesn't play? If it is a 3rd-- hardly seems fair.
