With the Steelers expected to press Le'Veon Bell's franchise tag negotiation toward the Monday deadline, the team still desires to complete a long-term deal with their star back. The team can provide a hefty signing bonus as a way to entice Bell while protecting themselves in case Bell faces another suspension, though the player says he's moved on from his previous drug offenses. The Steelers have around $16 million in salary cap space but can create more by taking Bell's $12.1-million tag off the books.
