Is it normal for them to skip, or is there something brewing in Pittsburgh where maybe they're just fed up with Bell or the entire organization or what?
You'd think that stories would mention it if it's normal and they skip OTAs a lot, but this story doesn't say anything about it:
DeCastro's quote makes it sound like he doesn't think that it's that big of a deal or at least not his place to say anything, but the quote in the last paragraph of "it does make advice centered around showing “you want to get better and show guys you’re serious” a bit harder to take," does make it sound like there's trouble, especially since the media usually kisses the Steelers' asses, and kind of sounds like it was a quote from a player that they're just not naming.
Fake news. At least the Ben part.

Oh, and Tom Brady skipped OTAs this year too. Maybe he's pissed about Malcom Butler and the Super Bowl still and there's 'trouble brewing in New England.'
