The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly listening to trade offers for running back Le’Veon Bell.

Multiple outlets reported the news on Sunday morning.

The star back has not played this season, due to a contract holdout.

And while the Dallas Cowboys already have a star running back in Ezekiel Elliott, two top teams in the NFC are two of the most likely landing spots for Bell.

According to betamerica.com., the San Francisco 49ers (+300) and Green Bay Packers (+400) have the second and third-best odds to secure Bell’s services in a trade.

The Cowboys play the 49ers later this season.

The team with the top odds to land Bell is the New England Patriots at (+140).
