Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Le’Veon Bell, posted another picture on social media with a meaning behind it that no one has any idea about.
Le’Veon Bell is arguably the best running back in the NFL, and easily the best social media shade thrower. Time and time again, he leaves fans and media members wondering what he’s trying to say with social media posts.
Well, with only a few days before his contract deadline, the running back decided to leave the world wondering, once again.
He posted a picture on Twitter and Instagram of him running the ball, with the caption, “I don’t forget a thing, I’m patient, it’s a gift…”

Just like that, the entire city of Pittsburgh is back to wondering whether there’s hope in keeping the running back. Last week, we heard about how close the two sides are to a deal and how Bell would like to remain in Pittsburgh for realistic money.
Now, we’re sitting around thinking that either something went wrong and Bell is about to hold a grudge, or he’s being patient and his contract is about to come to those who wait.
He’s a genius. His use of words on social media are unmatched in the world of sports. Maybe the two sides have stopped talking. Or, maybe Pittsburgh fans are about to get some great news before the weekend.
No one has any idea, because Bell is just too good at making you guess. We’ll know what the running back meant sooner rather than later, as both sides have until 4pm ET on Monday to get a deal done.

Bell has said he will not report to training camp for the second year if he doesn’t get a deal done. Last year, he sat out the preseason and returned to Pittsburgh a few days before Week 1. That should be the expectations this season if the two sides are unable to agree on a deal.
