Le’Veon Bell posted a rendering of himself in a green- and-white No. 26 jersey Wednesday afternoon on Twitter. The Jets and their fans can’t wait until the real-life Bell arrives and is taking handoffs and catching passes from Sam Darnold.
Bell was the best offensive player in the free-agent market, and now he’ll be calling MetLife Stadium home.
This was the dream scenario for the Jets when free agency began. It came to fruition after midnight, when they came to terms with Bell on a four-year deal for $52.5 million, with $35 million guaranteed. The contract has a maximum value of $61 million.
