The Pittsburgh Steelers have had to linger through the situation involving Pro Bowl running back Le'Veon Bell's extension talks looming overhead of the franchise. It is something that has yet to have any clarity regarding when things will get ironed out on both sides this offseason if at all.

All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown has chimed in with his opinion on the matter a few times over the last couple of months with his latest input telling Bell that he wants to win a Super Bowl with him.

Brown knows how vital Bell is to the Steelers' success on the field as he's one of the main cogs in the offensive game plan. The 26-year-old has established as arguably the best all-around running back in the league that can be an equally effective factor out of the backfield as both a runner and receiver.

Bell is in the prime of his career coming off yet another impressive seasons where he was third in the league with 1,291 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns, as well as a career-best 85 catches for 655 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. His 85 receptions are the most by a running back in a single season in team history. His production and reliability in the offense is something that the Steelers would be hard pressed to replace.

This comes down to the contract discussions between Bell and the Steelers that have just a few more weeks before the July 16 deadline for players on franchise tags to ink an extension with their respective teams. Throughout the process, he has continued to voice his desire to remain with the team for the long haul. This break before training camp next month could be the crucial window of time that is needed for things to be agreed upon on both sides.
