Steelers owner Art Rooney II discussed the situation at hand Thursday with SiriusXM NFL Radio.
“I don’t know what his plans are, but I would say at this point we expect him to come back next week,” Rooney said. “We know he’s back in Pittsburgh, and so we’re hoping to have some communications with him over the weekend, and we’re kind of expecting he will be back next week.”
Le’Veon Bell has been seeking a long-term deal with the Steelers in each of the past two years. However, the two sides have not been able to come to an agreement on his value.
