4. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have Le’Veon Bell back on their roster by the time Marshawn Lynch returns, but he would be a welcomed addition in Pittsburgh. Adding a bruising, physical back to the Steelers’ roster could go a long way in making them the favorite in the AFC. Imagine a physical AFC North battle with Lynch out there.

He’s exactly the type of back the Steelers could use in January when they want to grind out a win on the ground. He could allow the big play to open up for the other weapons on offense and the Steelers could become the most feared team in the league. It’s a perfect match for the two.

His style of play fits perfectly with the culture of Pittsburgh. Although he might not have much left, a trio of he, Bell and DeAngelo Williams would be arguably the best in the NFL. If he truly wants to play for a contender, then this might be his best option overall.

The Steelers had some issues with other teams taking liberties against their offensive weapons. If Lynch is on the field, there will be no extracurricular activities that are unwarranted against the Steelers.
