Aller/Getty ImagesAfter two years full of drama, the 2019 offseason has been positively calming by comparison and anyone who has followed the team throughout OTAs and minicamp cannot help but notice a much greater sense of harmony emanating from the locker room this offseason.Without wanting to place all of the blame for the dysfunction of past seasons on Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell Womens James Conner Jersey , it is impossible to ignore how team chemistry appears to have been impacted by the loss of two strong personalities with their own specific agendas. The notion of improvement by subtraction is seemingly playing out well in Pittsburgh. football camp over the weekend, it was clear that he was enjoying the change in the atmosphere surrounding the team this offseason. After months of hearing about Brown and Bell in the media on an almost daily basis and an endless succession of former teammates talking about the Steelers publicly, the uproar surrounding the team is slowly starting to die out. And while there are certain networks who seem intent on keeping the story alive as best they can, the national media appears to have moved on to the Cleveland Browns as the hot topic in AFC North. But despite the doubts of the experts T. J. Watt Jersey , Big Ben is still confident about the season ahead.Should the Steelers be able to keep this apparent level of chemistry intact for the entire season, reports of their demise may yet prove to be premature. At a time when it already was looking less and less likely that running back Le'Veon Bell would report to the Steelers before Tuesday’s 4:00 p.m. ET deadline, there’s now a report that acknowledges that reality.Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that it is “unlikely” that Bell will sign his franchise tender and play in 2018.Yes, it’s unlikely. Which technically means that the chances of it happening are less than 50 percent. Which given the recent realization that Bell can skip the whole year and still force his way to free agency in March 2019 Jerome Bettis Jersey White , is fairly obvious at this point.Indeed, and as explained on Friday, Bell’s best play at this point is to not play this year. With $8.5 million already gone, only $6 million or so left to be earned this year James Conner Jersey White , and a major payday looming, it’s a no-brainer.So either Schefter is simply reading the tea leaves that currently are arranged to say in all caps “HE’S NOT SHOWING,” or sources close to Bell have opted for “unlikely” instead of “not at all” to account for the possibility that Bell will choose to show up, even if it makes no financial sense at this point to report.And if the latter is that case Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , don’t be surprised if something that currently has less than a 50 percent chance of happening actually does happen.
