The Pittsburgh Steelers will not be getting back running from liuyt's blog

back Le’Veon Bell before the end of the 2018 season. Bell had until Tuesday to report to the team Youth Mike Person Jersey , and chose to stay away. He had to report by Tuesday, and by not doing so, he is ineligible to play the rest of the season. The team confirmed the news shortly after the 1 p.m. PT deadline.The Steelers placed the franchise tag on Bell for the second consecutive year, and he said he would not play under it. The Steelers could franchise tag him again next offseason, but it would count as the third franchise tag, and thus count as the much higher QB salary. The Steelers could use the cheaper transition tag, but that means they would have right of first refusal on any contract, and get no draft pick compensation if he leaves.Every offseason brings some notable names to free agency, but Bell will be one of the biggest to hit the open market in recent memory. Kirk Cousins was one such option this past offseason, but for his position, Bell is considerably better than Cousins. Bell likely won’t get a fully guaranteed contract like Cousins (unless he signs a short-term deal), but he will be in line for a big pay day.The 49ers are one of the handful of teams with serious cap space next offseason, and were mentioned in odds content related to Bell. However, given the return of Jerick McKinnon and Matt Breida’s breakthrough this season http://www.the49ersfootballauthentic.com/laken-tomlinson-jersey-authentic , the odds of the 49ers even pursuing Bell seem non-existent.It’s going to be an intriguing March once Bell does hit the market. He is being criticized by some for skipping out on $14.5 million, but he will not hit the market entirely healthy and without one extra year of tread on his tires. We’ve seen college players suffer in the draft after skipping their final year of college, but this is different. Bell is a proven commodity, and given how easily running backs can wear down, this makes a lot of sense in my mind. I don’t know if he’ll get the huge deal he thought he would get, but given the injury risk of playing this season, I don’t blame him for waiting this out to get to the market. It was not pretty, and the San Francisco 49ers found a new way to blow a game. The 49ers led 15-10 in the fourth quarter, and Josh Rosen drove 73 yards to get the game-winning score. The Cardinals won 18-15 after the 49ers blew a snap and Beathard threw incomplete as time expired. It was about as fitting a finish for this team as possible.It was a thrilling finish for the general football fan, and probably if you are rooting for draft positioning, but it was another disappointing finish for a 49ers team that can’t close out a game to save their lives.It was an ugly game early, with neither team able to find the end zone. The 49ers got a safety in the first quarter, and an exchange of field goals had a score of 5-3 49ers at the half. The 49ers finally got things going in the second half, with Marquise Goodwin catching a short pass and turning it into a 55-yard touchdown. The 49ers added a field goal and seemed in control with a 15-3 lead.However Youth Adrian Colbert Jersey , the defense folded in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals drove 75 yards on six plays to cut the lead to 15-10, capped by a Larry Fitzgerald touchdown. After a 49ers punt, the Cardinals fumbled back to the 49ers but San Francisco could get nothing done. Josh Rosen had a bit of a coming out on the Cardinals final drive, leading them 73 yards in 1:42 for the game winning score.Injury reportThe 49ers once again dealt with more injuries. Teams get banged up fairly regularly, but it seems like the 49ers just can’t stay healthy. This time, strong safety Jaquiski Tartt and linebacker Reuben Foster were lost to injury. Foster suffered a hamstring injury, and was ruled questionable to return. He was replaced by Elijah Lee, and never returned to the game.Tartt injured his shoulder and was replaced by Antone Exum. Tartt was ruled out, and the 49ers later lost Exum to a head injury. He was replaced by Tyvis Powell.George Kittle suffered an injury at one point when he took a huge hit, but returned the next series.Up next: vs. Oakland Raiders (TNF)The final Battle of the Bay Area gets to go under the lights. And given that it’s not Sunday evening, it could not be flexed out! The Raiders dropped to 1-6 following their 42-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. I’m sure the NFL is thrilled about this matchup.
