Another potential reporting date. Another day without Le’Veon Bell at Pittsburgh Steelers headquarters

I read somewhere there are about 45 players, but I believe Bell is the only Steeler.

This is over a year old

Bakari represented Ladarius Green in the 2016 negotiations with the Steelers that resulted in that botched free agent contract

Since the Steelers did not think Green was candid about his injury history probably not a good foundation of trust for the 2017 negotiations with Bell, in which Bakari allegedly negotiated a deal with the Steelers then could not get Bell to accept it

Given that history less surprising how the 2018 cluster has developed

That seemed to be a pretty good deal for Green. Millions of dollars for nothing.

So the agent is getting paid... just not dumbBell.
