0:00.0	Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast. I am your host, Tony Serino, and this is your daily dose of all things Steelers.
0:08.2	Yesterday was Minicamp Day 2 for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and we are going to recap all of it today.
0:13.6	I am excited, happy, thrilled to announce that no drama on today's podcast.
0:18.9	We are talking football and football only today about minicamp day two and all of the news
0:25.4	and notes coming out.
0:26.6	And let's start today with a couple of news and notes that aren't necessarily
0:29.9	minicamp related.
0:31.2	But Mike Tomlin interviewed yesterday after minicamp and said that there are no talks yet
0:36.3	between Lavian Bell and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:38.5	Of course, we talked yesterday about the contract negotiation and just the fact that reports are that Laveon now wants $14.5 million,

1:11.3	in general. And that made a lot of sense. Right now, here we are into May and June. And you kind of
1:16.7	felt like maybe they would start up talks again. But the fact that they haven't, to me,
1:21.5	is no real surprise, right? This is a contract negotiation that has gone on now for two seasons, for two years of contract negotiation between these two sides.
1:31.7	And so, you know, there's not a lot left that needs to be said, right?
1:34.7	What needs to happen in this deal is there needs to be pressure put on both sides because what's going to have to happen is both sides are going to have to cave in some way in order for a deal to get done.
1:45.1	That's just the reality of the situation.
1:46.9	And so the only way there's going to be pressure put on this situation is by the deadline getting
1:51.6	closer and closer.
