WRSP Radio presents the 39th episode of the second year of Weekend Sports Huddle with co-hosts Tom Pollin, Hunter Hodies and producer Dave Holcomb. NFL free agency is about to begin, and because the two sides were unable to come to an agreement on a contract extension, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed the franchise tag on Le'Veon Bell this past week. Bell has been very outspoken about the fact he wants to be paid handsomely. As important as he is, can the Steelers afford to give into his demands? Hodies and Holcomb will debate at length about this topic, which is surely one of the biggest heading into NFL free agency next week. Speaking of free agency, even though it hasn't officially begun yet, there was a slew of big moves made Friday between the Cleveland Browns making multiple trades, and the Seattle Seahawks releasing one of their best players. We'll recap all the latest important news during our show and weigh-in on the best early decisions. Next, Pitt basketball fired coach Kevin Stallings after just two seasons and will pay him more than $9 million in his buyout. Did the Panthers have any choice? We'll document Stallings' short tenure at Pitt, and then present updates from Chicago Cubs spring training. It's all coming up on Weekend Sports Huddle. We want to make you part of the show.
