It seems like the Pittsburgh Steelers might be thinking about parting ways with disgruntled star running back Le’Veon Bell.
Before the start of the season, Bell’s agent indicated that her client was going to sit out as long as possible until the team restructures his contract.
Via ESPN
He’s going to do the things necessary to protect his value long-term,”
“Le’Veon has several years left in football; we know his days in Pittsburgh are precarious at best; we also know how he’s been utilized in the past by the Steelers organization,”
“That’s nothing to say negative about the Steelers. They had one of the best players to play the position and they used him heavily for the production he can provide, but in doing so, you take away from his future years.”
Late last night, Bell fired off a cryptic tweet saying that he felt he wasn’t being appreciated.
sometimes a simple “thank you” can go a long way…I feel like too many ppl take me for granted…

Just hours after Bell’s tweet, ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed that the Steelers were “listening” to trade offers for Bell.
