Le’Veon Bell has been one of the most dominant players in the entire NFL throughout his professional career and he wants to be paid like one. However, for the past two seasons both Bell and the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t been able to see eye to eye on a long-term contract, even though the 26-year-old running back has made it clear multiple times he would like to retire in Pittsburgh.
For the second straight year, Bell heads into the regular season with a one-year contract under his belt as the Steelers have placed the franchise tag on him each year, but this time around it’s looking a little less likely that he returns to the field in a Steelers uniform next year.
This past weekend, OddsShark revealed the official Las Vegas line on the odds on which team Bell will play the first game of the 2019 NFL season with and it’s not the Steelers leading the way.
According to Bovada, the New York Jets are the front runners to land Bell next offseason and it makes a lot of sense considering Bilal Powell and Thomas Rawls will be off their payroll and will only be paying Isaiah Crowell $4 million. However, they aren’t counting out the Steelers just yet as they’re right behind the Jets on the rankings.
Where do you think Le’Veon Bell will end up next offseason?
