The Pittsburgh Steelers will play their first game of the season Sunday but it may be without their star running back Le'Veon Bell. The league's best tailback has chosen to hold out in hopes of a new contract that will make him the highest-paid player at his position. His continued absence has gotten to his teammates however, with several players speaking out against Bell during practice on Wednesday.
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon say that Le'Veon Bell's overwhelming desire to reach a new contract and willingness to sacrifice on-the-field success will only damage the perception of him for GM's around the league.
Listen to the Jason Smith Show w/ Michael Harmon weeknights from 8-11 PM PT on Fox Sports Radio
