Sounds like his team mates are none to happy with him...

"He f---ed us," one veteran told ESPN as he walked out of the locker room on Wednesday.

"If you don't want to be here, it is what it is. Hold out 10 weeks," center Maurkice Pouncey said.

"I just felt confident that he was gonna come," Pouncey said Wednesday, "But now that he didn't, obviously it's Le'Veon over the Steelers, and we're the Steelers and we're going to play as the Steelers. ... Now when it's game time and you that you have $14 million looming out there, and you're still not here and your team really wants you here? At this point, we got [James] Conner."

"In the ultimate team sport, we've created a league of individuals," guard Ramon Foster said. "I know the league is all about get your money, get paid, I love it. ... But at least let us know [you weren't coming].

"Right now, we're just dealing with the aspect of, 'Are you going to do it for us or are you really going to wait it out?' Because this is one of those things where we as an offensive line, as a team -- Pounce urged him to come in and now nothing. There are so many guys [here] who are sacrificing everything."

"What do you do?" Foster to the media assembled at team practice. "Here's a guy who doesn't give a damn. I guess we'll treat it as such. I just hate it came to this."

"He's making seven times what I make, twice as much as (left tackle) Al(ejandro Villanueva) is making and we're the guys who do it for him," Foster said.

"We all thought he'd be here today," DeCastro said. "He makes us
all kind of look stupid a little bit."

"Nobody is taking this well at all," Foster said. That guy comes in half the season and he still will make more than me, so f*** it, right?"
