Le’Veon Bell didn’t get a new deal, and is almost definitely leaving the Steelers in 2019 now LeVeon Bell is locked into a one-year, $14.544 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. With a guaranteed $14.5 million this year on the tag, its likely he could beat that initial two-year, $30 million outlay on the first year of a free agent deal in 2019. What led up to now? The 2013 second-round pick wasnt a Pro Bowler as a rookie, but Bell was still a star right from the start for the Steelers. With Bell due to make $14.544 million under the franchise tag in 2018, it became even less likely that the Steelers would be able to find a number that would work for all parties. Now what? Bell will be with the Steelers in 2018, but itll almost definitely be his last season in Pittsburgh. ESPNs Adam Schefter hinted Monday morning that Bell was prepared to sit out the first half of the year if he didnt have a new deal, in part to save some wear and tear before he hits free agency next year.
