Despite growing discourse between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Le'Veon Bell, the team won't rescind the franchise tag for the running back, according to a source.

The Steelers have the option of doing so. Bell is set to make $14.45 million on the one-year franchise tag.

Bell will lose out on $855,000 in game checks each week he doesn't report.

The Steelers could trade Bell, but he would still not be able to sign a long-term contract until after the season.
