The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to use the franchise tag on Le'Veon Bell for the second straight game.

After playing on a $12.1 million tag in 2017, Bell's franchise number would be about $14.5 in 2018.

Bell said last week that he would consider sitting out or retiring if the Steelers tag him in 2018.

If Bell had signed the long-term offer from the Steelers last offseason, he would have earned $30 million over 2017 and 2018.
