With the Steelers now open to trading Bell, what are some potential destinations?
Tampa Bay has been rumored lately.
Or does he end up staying in Pittsburgh?

I don't think Tampa Bay has the money, and they need help in the secondary, offense isn't the problem. If you look at big market teams that have the money and need a running back, I think the Jets are the team. Good defense, solid offensive line, they just need better skill position talent.

Not positive but i think i read they are actually one of the few teams that does have the wiggle-room

Green Bay or I could also see Indianapolis making the move for him.

Pats could probably use him the most. He's James White, Rex Burkhead, and Sony Michel wrapped up into one. But they'll never pay him. He'll end up on the Redskins.

Maybe Indy? They need RB and Indy would probably pay him.

First of all it would be hard because he is going to want to be a free agent. He must first sign a contract with pitts to be traded. He can't sign a long term deal with pitt until after the season. Do you actually think a team is going to sign a 1 yr deal with him knowing that if the franchise him again this year they would have to pay 140% of the top 3 contracts at rb. Also a player can only be franchised 3 times in his career. Pitts has already done twice. Non starter boys. I have him in fantasy league so i would greatly benefit but not likely.

Its very common for a player to reach an oral agreement to sign long-term before the trade occurs - that's what happened with McCoy in Buffalo.

He is still favored to remain with Steelers this year.
What team will Le'Veon Bell play for by the end of the 2018 trade deadline?
