Le'Veon Bell's contract holdout from the Pittsburgh Steelers took an ugly turn on Wednesday. Several of his teammates openly criticized him in the media for failing to show up days before Week 1.

Bell has been holding out of preseason and training camp, refusing to report on the $14.5 million franchise tag. He and the Steelers failed to agree on a new contract in July. Bell reportedly doesn't want to play on a deal he feels is below-market for his skills.
