Star running back Le'Veon Bell has missed the first four games of the season over a prolonged contract dispute with the Pittsburgh Steelers' that does not look to be ending any time soon.
Although his absence from gameplay has frustrated many of his teammates, Bell pointed to Seattle Seahawks All-Pro safety Earl Thomas's holdout and subsequent season-ending leg fracture to justify his own decision to avoid gameplay.
According to the Washington Post's Cindy Boren, the Steelers are now trying to trade away their star to little avail.
