Last year Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell didn’t sign his franchise tag and report to the team until training camp and the preseason were over. This year coach Mike Tomlin hopes that’s not the case.

Tomlin told CBS Sports that he would like to see Bell in camp Josh Sitton Jersey , and in better shape, than last year.

“I’m hopeful that he’ll get to us sooner. I’m hopeful that he’ll be in better condition even than he was a year ago,” Tomlin said.

It’s hard to see any reason Bell would have for reporting earlier this year than last year. Bell wanted a long-term contract, and when he and the Steelers failed to agree on one before the deadline for franchise players to sign Mike White Jersey , it seemed a near-certainty that Bell would wait until just before the start of the regular season to report.

As for reporting in better shape, last year Bell did get off to a somewhat slow start, carrying just 10 times for 32 yards and adding three catches for 15 yards in Week One. But he had a strong season, and he’ll be motivated to have another strong season in a contract year Andre Hal Jersey , so he’s likely going to show up in good shape. Even if he’s not there until the preseason is over.

Now that the seal on first-round quarterbacks has been broken, things are starting to happen.

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, the Bills have signed quarterback Josh Allen to his four-year contract.

Allen, the seventh overall pick Devin Funchess Jersey , has a real chance to win a job quickly in Buffalo, though it’s unclear if that’s a good thing or not.

The Bills still aren’t blessed with great receiving targets, and they’re remaking the middle of their offensive line after the departures of Eric Wood and Richie Incognito this offseason.

Allen’s signing leaves just four unsigned draft picks: Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (third overall), Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (fourth) Christian McCaffrey Jersey , Bears linebacker Roquan Smith (eighth), and 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (44th, the only second-rounder).
