After much speculation, Adam Schefter is reporting that former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is planning on signing with the New York Jets. Adding Bell to the backfield gives Sam Darnold a dual threat back. Bell has played 5 seasons (he sat out 2018) and for his career he has 5,336 rushing yards and 2,600 receiving yards. He averages 62 receptions a year and has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 3 of his 5 seasons.
