Steelers' Le'Veon Bell expected to sign with 'highest bidder,' Raiders on radar
MMQB's Peter King expects Pittsburgh Steelers impending free agent running back Le'Veon Bell is expected to "go to the highest bidder" and the Oakland Raiders are a team to "watch," according to Peter King of The Monday Morning Quarterback.
What It Means:
King is only speculating, but he's one of the most well-connected people to the NFL and Marshawn Lynch certainly didn't do anything to guarantee a second season in Oakland. That said, Bell will be highly sought after if he opts to become a free agent, so the Raiders will have plenty of competition for the young back's services. It's also possible that the Steelers create enough cap space to bring him back.
Bell averaged 20.3 FanDuel points in 15 games during the regular season, with 1,291 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns on the ground, in addition to 655 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns on 85 catches (106 targets) through the air.
