LATROBE, Pa. (AP) The Pittsburgh Steelers trickled into training camp on Thursday in pickup trucks Ryan Shazier Jerseys and Porsches, Rolls Royces and Rubicons.And in the case of ageless linebacker James Harrison, a firetruck.Because of course he did.Left tackle Alejandro Villaneuva showed up too, arriving with pen Heath Miller Jerseys in hand to sign a contract extension that made the former Army Ranger a millionaire several times over as the protector of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's blind side for the rest of the decade.Yet Ben Roethlisberger Jerseys the player perhaps most vital to Pittsburgh's hopes of tracking down Super Bowl champion and longtime nemesis New England by the end of January Troy Polamalu Jerseys was nowhere to be found.While his teammates went through the customary opening paces – from check-in to a conditioning test – Le'Veon Bell never made it to St. Vincent College.The Pro Bowler has yet to sign the franchise tender that will pay him more than $12 million this season.And while they'd rather have Bell's familiar No. 26 on the sideline when practice starts Friday, the guys blocking for him understand business is business."I'm not mad at him, I'm happy for the guy," guard Ramon Foster said. "It's an opportunity for Le'Veon to take care of his family for generations, so why not take care of it now?"Pittsburgh placed the franchise tag on Bell in the offseason, but was unable to find common ground for a long-term agreement.General manager Kevin Colbert tabled any talks of revisiting an extension until after the 2017 season.Bell, who averaged more than 150 yards of total offense last fall, tweeted "I guess I just gotta get better" when the July 17 deadline passed Le'Veon Bell Jerseys without a new deal in place.Wide receiver Antonio Brown isn't concerned so much about Bell improving as much as he is about Bell simply getting to camp.Brown, who signed a four-year, $72-million extension in February and strolled into camp in the back seat of a 1931 Rolls Royce, isn't sure Bell is making a point by holding out."I just understand the history of how these things work out," Brown said."The Steelers never negotiate with civilians, especially when you don't show up. The first rule of getting better is showing up.
