"Bell does not have to report to the Steelers by a certain date to get an accrued season to become eligible for free agency, contrary to what ESPN and others previously reported. Bell already has played the four-plus seasons he needs to become a free agent after the season." From ESPN. Yeah he's not coming back this year. The issue isn't the season accrual for 4 year purposes. The issue is that if he doesn't report the Steelers can franchise him again next season for the same cost as this season (or transition tag). If he reports then if they tried franchising again, the cost ramps up. <cite>ShatteredElysium posted [p:911870358] in NFL Discus...
