Steelers Won't Use Franchise Tag on Le'Veon Bell

The Le'Veon Bell saga has been a tumultuous one for all parties involved. The Steelers running back sat out the entirety of the last NFL season because he did not want to be franchise tagged. You could argue that the team felt the effects of this sit-out, but it also allowed James Connor to step up and take over running duties and while he put on an incredible performance, the Steelers found themselves without a playoff spot to end the season and wrapped in a heavy amount of drama between their quarterback and their soon to be departed wide receiver Antonio Brown.

Today, the news dropped that Le'Veon Bell will not be Franchise or Transition tagged by the Pittsburgh Steelers and as a result, he'll be a free agent, and able to find a new team who will hopefully give him the contract that will make him happy enough to return to the field.
