Le’Veon Bell is known as the most patient runner in football. On Tuesday, he was testing the Jets’ patience.
The Jets remained in contention for the Steelers free-agent running back, but no deal was done as of Tuesday evening. There was speculation around the league that the Jets might be the only team to actually give Bell an offer.
The Jets offered what they feel is a competitive deal for Bell, but it may have been less than what he was looking for after sitting out last season. Some people wondered if Bell was trying to get other teams involved and simply trying to wait out the Jets to see if he could get a better offer.
