If you thought that because Le’Veon Bell’s season was over you were through hearing about him until the off-season, you were sadly mistaken.
On Sunday morning the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Bell is looking for a contract of more than $17 million a season with $45 million guaranteed.

Just because the Steelers were unwilling to pay him that much, doesn’t mean there are other teams who would happily drop that much cash on a dual threat running back.
It sounds like Bell betting on himself will likely pay off for him in the end.
