After spending the past few months in Miami, it appears
that has finally made his way back to Pittsburgh.
However, the drama between Bell and the isn't quite over
yet, and that's because he still hasn't reported to the
team.We know Bell's in Pittsburgh because he was spotted
on Tuesday night at a local LA Fitne s. An eagle-eyed
customer at the gym saw Bell playing basketball and
decided to take a picture, and then obviously, he posted
that picture to social media. Local Rapper Leveon Bell
spotted at LA fitne s running 5s with pedestrians Jamie

managed to jerseys">Torry Holt Jersey take a quick photo. If
anyone doubts heres another Gilmore Happy (@OConnor7)
Although there was some question about whether or not the
pictures actually showed Bell (they are a little blurry
and/or theoretically could be old), that was all cleared
up on Wednesday when an LA Fitne s manager that Bell was
at the gym. The gym photos came just one day after Bell
started an internet firestorm when he that most took as
a me sage that he was finally going to report to the
Steelers. More on the NFL It's a good thing Bell is in
Pittsburgh, because if he wants to play this year, he has
to show up soon. To be eligible to play in the in 2018,
he has to report to the team by 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 13,
which is le s than one week away. After reporting, Bell
would then sign his
Cam
Akers Jersey franchise tender. Although the
franchise tag would have paid him $14.55 million this
season, he'll only get roughly $5.9 million of that after
mi sing the first 10 weeks of the season. The one odd
thing about these latest pictures of Bell is that he was
spotted playing basketball. When you consider the fact
that his main reason for not signing the franchise tag
this year was because he didn't want to be overused and
risk injury, it literally makes zero sense to walk out on
a basketball court and risk injury when you're not under
contract with anyone. It's just another odd
jerseys">Travin Howard Jersey decision in a series
of odd decisions that Bell has been making this
year.Also, one thing that's not clear is how Bell will be
received by everyone in the Steelers locker room when he
eventually reports (Since he's in Pittsburgh, we're going
to a sume he shows up at some point). Bell's popularity
has tumbled in Pittsburgh over the past few weeks. Mike
Tomlin seemed pretty tired of talking about the situation
when he was asked about Bell before the Steelers' 23-16
win over the on Sunday."We haven't spent a lot of time
focused on Bell being gone because it's not within our
control. Those ," Tomlin said, via ESPN.com. "We need
volunteers, not hostages, so we're focused on the guys
who are here and working and James Conner is definitely
in that mix." Steelers offensive lineman also seemed
pretty tired of talking about the situation."Honestly, ,"
DeCastro said on Sunday, via NFL.com. "Why would I? I
don't want to waste the energy. I have to block some of
the best players on the best defense in the world. Do you
think I'm going to worry about a guy who's not here?"Oh,
and there's also the fact that Bell's replacement has
been running wild over the NFL. In nine games this
season, has rushed for 706 yards, which ranks first in
the AFC and second in the NFL. Also, Conner is one of
just three players in the NFL this season who has at
least 500 rushing yards and 375 receiving yards.
jerseys">Justin Hollins Jersey Conner is also doing
things that Bell has never done. These numbers become
even more impre sive when you think about the history of
the Steelers' skill players. NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL)
Through eight games this season, Conner has produced
1,085 total yards and 10 touchdowns while averaging 4.7
yards per carry. All three of those numbers are better
than what Bell did through eight games last season, when
he produced 979 total yards and five touchdowns, while
averaging 3.9 yards per carry. Not to mention, Bell will
be making more money each game ($855,000) then Conner
will make the entire season ($
jerseys">Ben Skowronek Jersey 790,000). Basically,
the Steelers have every reason to stick with Conner.If,
for some reason, Bell doesn't report to the Steelers,
he'll be very unlikely to get another franchise tag.
According to NFL.com, if Bell gets hit , it will count as
his third tag whether he plays this season or not. With a
third franchise tag, that means Bell would be paid the
amount of the highest tag, which would be the quarterback
tag. In that case, any team that franchise tagged him
would owe him more than $25 million.
