...as expected...
I've heard that it is an exclusive tag but also read it's a non-exclusive...

ESPN says exclusive, which I understand means nobody else can even make an offer

P-G also says it is exclusive - Steelers not messing around with the possibility some crazy owner is willing to burn 2 first round picks with a $$ offer Steelers cannot afford to match
Because it’s the Steelers’ exclusive tag, there’s no way Bell could sign with another team for the 2017 season.

Must mean they are almost certain of the AB deal prior to March 9th.

Wise I'd like to see him stay healthy and out of trouble before committing long term. His talent is unquestioned, but can he show up when he's needed the most.
