PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pro Bowl running back Le’Veon Bell is officially back at work.
The Groveport-Madison star signed his franchise tender with the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday, clearing him to return for the 2017 season.
The team placed the franchise tag on Bell in February.
He declined to sign his one-year, $12.1 million tender while waiting to see if a long-term deal could be reached.
The Steelers and Bell did not come to an agreement by the mid-July deadline. Bell then opted to skip training camp and work out on his own.
