After weeks of speculation that the Steelers planned to place the transition tag on Le’Veon Bell, GM Kevin Colbert speaking for the first time this off-season threw cold water on that notion and said the Steelers will not use any tag on Bell, thus making Bell a free agent.

Colbert and Co have come to their senses as tagging Bell made zero sense from the start and would have just been petty, used up cap space again and brought unwanted drama this team doesn’t need.
