ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting the Pittsburgh Steelers and running back Le'Veon Bell have "motivations" to put together a long-term deal before the July 17 deadline. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Although Schefter is reporting that both the Steelers and Bell are motivated to get a long-term deal done, nothing appears imminent. The NFL Insider added that a "push before and at the [July 17] deadline is expected from both sides," but how this shakes out "could go either way." If a new deal is not agreed upon, Bell will play the 2017 season under the guaranteed franchise tag value of roughly $12.7 million.
