Want Le’Veon Bell, NFL teams? He won’t come cheap.
(Obviously.)
The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly are “actively shopping” the All-Pro running back, who’s been holding out since the preseason. The Steelers had been taking calls on Bell, but now are the ones initiating the discussions, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
So, what does Pittsburgh want in return for the 26-year-old? A second-round pick and a “quality” player, according to Rapoport.
The Steelers obviously would prefer to have a happy, under-contract Bell on their roster. But dynamic back has put the team in a bind, and the emergence of James Connor likely has warmed Pittsburgh to the idea of dealing one of its franchise players.
The New England Patriots have been speculated as a possible fit for Bell, for what it’s worth.
