He told ESPN days before Pittsburgh's upset playoff loss that he would consider retiring if, he said, the Steelers don't value him highly in the upcoming round of contract negotiations.

According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Bell missed nearly all of the Steelers' walk-through a day before the team took on the Jacksonville Jaguars in their AFC divisional round playoff matchup last weekend.

Before that game, Bell showed his commitment to the team by.

"(Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin) wants players and coaches to report to the locker room two hours before kickoff for games", Bouchette wrote.

"Not only did Bell arrive much later than that for the playoff game against Jacksonville (as well as one coach), he missed practically the entire Saturday walk-through the day before, showing up about five minutes before practice ended".

Dow Closes Above 26000, Just 8 Sessions After Earlier Milestone
ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude shed 12 cents to $63.61 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Declines in Merck , down 1.85 percent and Johnson & Johnson, off 0.52 percent, also pulled the healthcare sector lower.

Pittsburgh once again can opt to apply the franchise tag to Bell, although it will cost $14.57 million.

He's also threatened to sit out the season or retire if they tag him again, making this a tenuous situation for the Steelers moving forward. He made $12.12 million this year.

Pittsburgh's previous offer to Bell was more than both of those deals, and given his reluctance to accept it, the Steelers are now wondering if they want to even re-sign him.

Bell rushed for 1,291 yards and nine touchdowns in 2017-18, averaging four yards per carry en route to his third trip to the Pro Bowl and his second first-team All-Pro selection.
