Free agent offensive tackle Demetrius Bell is visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday and will head to Philadelphia this weekend to spend some time with the Eagles as well. The Steelers could use an upgrade at the tackle position and the Eagles need a player to fill in for Jason Peters now that it was reported today that he ruptured his Achilles while working out.  No one knows at this point when Peters will play in 2012, if at all.
