The New England Patriots did it once with Antonio Brown. It didn’t work.
Could they roll the dice on another former Pittsburgh Steelers star in running back Le’Veon Bell?
It would be a big gamble. But the Patriots have the spare cash to make that sort of win-now move.
After reportedly seeking a trade partner for their disgruntled running back, the New York Jets announced that they had outright released Bell Tuesday night, making him a free agent immediately.
The move comes a little over a year after Bell signed a four-year, $52.
