PITTSBURGH -- Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, a free agent in 2017, won't entertain a new contract until his surgically repaired right knee is healed.
Bell said after Thursday's minicamp session that his representatives and the Steelers are not discussing a new deal "right now."
"I just want to make sure my knee's good," Bell said. "Make sure everything's straight before all that comes about."
Bell, who suffered the knee injury in Week 8 last season, said he tore the medial collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments. The Steelers held Bell out of anything "competitive" in minicamp, he said. Bell went through individual drills.
While training in Miami this offseason, Bell's next goal is to clear the mental hurdles associated with knee injuries, to feel "normal."
Bell, 24, said he gained weight in the months after the injury, ballooning to 230-plus pounds. He has since lost weight and said he plans to carry between 210 and 215 pounds during the season. Bell was 240 at Michigan State.
"I got heavy. I did. I wasn't going to stop eating," Bell said about the months after the injury. "I couldn't run. ... But I feel great now."
The Steelers have begun negotiations with All-Pro guard David DeCastro, but the team will prioritize Bell's future throughout the summer.

| Smart. Although if it doesn't happen before camp it most likely won't happen until the season is over after the SB  | |

| Bell seems like a pretty bright kid, and I think he likes it in the Burgh. If he stays healthy they'll throw some money at him, but I think he'll sign a deal that's friendly to both him, and the Steelers. _________________ "Success isn't owned, it's leased and the rent is due every day." - TJ Watt | |

| In his alternate career, Bell may have dropped a hint about how much he wants. A hint: it would be the highest in the league.

| Well, he's either a bad rapper or delusional.

| He wants 15 mil per? no problem. Win the rushing title, carry the Steelers to a title and I'm sure the Steelers will oblige. | |

| I'm holding out to see what kind of shape he comes back in. Him and Shazier have all the talent in the world but can never seem to shake the injury bug.

Exactly. They both need to stay on the field this year. And let me add this. BA was the best OC we ever had and Haley is the worst.  Sorry for hijacking the thread but the gospel must be read.  | |
