The Pittsburgh Steelers couldn't come to an agreement on a long-term deal with Le'Veon Bell before Monday's deadline.

Bell will now play out this season under the terms of his franchise tender.

The Steelers released a brief statement from Kevin Colbert that said, in part, that the team plans to "resume our efforts to address his contract situation" after the 2017 season comes to an end.

The running back released a brief statement on Twitter, saying "I guess I just gotta get better..."

The next question is whether Bell will sign his $12.1 million tender in order to join the Steelers in training camp.
