The Steelers of Le & # 39; Veon Bell are teammates are fed up

The Pittsburgh Steelers began Wednesday their preparation for their first game of the season against the Cleveland Browns.

Aged 26, he is ready to play under the franchise label for the second year in a row and wants a long-term commitment from the Steelers they did not want to give.

And his teammates have enough.

"It's a guy who does not care

Pittsburgh offensive linemen appear to be the most upset by Bell's position.

Guard Ramon Foster told reporters, "What are you doing? Here is a guy who does not care, I guess we will treat it as such. I hate that.

"It's seven times what I earn, twice as much as Al [Villanueva] and we are the guys who do it for him.

Foster went where players rarely go: he brought the salary into the discussion. Players may sometimes wonder if a player from another team is worth as much as he has paid, but it is difficult to find examples of players who call one of their teammates.

Many players understand that an NFL career does not last long and that they should make as much money as they can for the duration of their career.

It's also not often that we see players celebrating the success of their teammates, as did Foster.

Foster tweeted earlier Wednesday, a photoshop of Bell's head on Waldo's body of "Where's Waldo?

Bell Research Agent

Bell's agent, Adisa Bakari, made several appearances in the media on Wednesday and suggested that the two men were taking a global approach.

The host responded, "I'll use it as much as possible to make sure we have the best possible chance of winning this Super Bowl."

Bell touched 406 hits last year (431 in the playoffs), 60 more than any other player in the league. If, during a 16-game season, the Steelers gave him as many points and then let him walk, it would probably depress Bell's interest in the free agency, because a player who has touched more than 800 tackled on this subject many times – is probably exhausted.

The deadline for Bell and the Steelers to get a long-term deal passed in July; His option is now to play under his one year franchise label, guaranteed $ 14.5 million. By rule, he must play at least six games for an accumulated season.

Conner, written last year, is expected to get most of Bell's workload while he sits down.
