Le’ Veon Bell is Ready to Return to the Steelers

It’s not a secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been struggling without their star running back Le’Veon Bell. Unfortunately for the Steelers, they have not been able to meet eye to eye with Bell on his pay. Bell has held out with the expectation of getting a new deal. However, he recently announced that he will return this season in his old uniform.

Bell’s announcement has everyone in Pittsburgh excited. Die-hard fans are excited about seeing one of the biggest stars in the National Football League return to the field. In the eyes of many, Bell’s return will help the Steelers make the playoffs.

Bell is also adamant about his feelings when it comes to signing a new deal with his team. Bell wants a long-term deal. In essence, he wants to retire in Pittsburgh.

Before the start of the season, things went south for both sides after the Steelers placed the franchise tag on the talented running back. It’s rare for teams to offer long-term deals to explosive running backs. Teams are afraid that productive running backs will physically be unable to play for a long time. This is the main reason why the Steelers turned down Bell’s effort to get an extension.

Fortunately for the Steelers, Bell plans on returning to the team within three to four weeks. This gives Bell a golden opportunity to rest his body.

A reliable source revealed that Bell is looking forward to taking the field when the Steelers host the Cleveland Browns on October 8. The source also stated that Bell will decide how much practice time he will need. Testing his physical prowess against the Browns should work in Bell’s favor. The Browns have been struggling for years.

The superstar running back said that he is in top shape. He also revealed that he could play tomorrow if the Steelers needed him for their upcoming game. To his credit, it seems like Bell has not allowed the business negotiations with the front office discourage him from playing football for the team. Unlike many other running backs that were facing this type of situation in the past, Bell is not demanding a trade.

It’s important to point out that the Steelers are exploring their options. However, Bell is planning on making a big splash when he returns to the field. Where will Bell play in the future? We will have to wait and see.
