The Facts: Bell continues to speak confidently about a potential long-term contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Friday, Bell said he's confident his contract is a priority for the Steelers, and reiterated that sides are closer to a deal than they were last year. For Bell, negotiations on a multi-year deal are all about the guaranteed money. "Yeah, a lot of it is about the guarantees," he said.

Diehards Line: Bell was asked if, hypothetically, the Steelers offered him $50 million guaranteed would he sign? "50 guaranteed? Absolutely," he replied. Bell then paused when asked about $30 million guaranteed. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported last offseason that Bell turned down a contract offer that would have paid him $30 million in the first two years of the deal. The Steelers could slap the franchise tag on Bell again, which would pay the running back around $14.5 million for 2018. Bell sat out workouts and preseason last year before signing his franchise tag. The running back said Friday that as of now he plans on being at training camp in 2018.
