Le’Veon Bell is a risk the New York Jets can afford to take

Finding an NFL superstar completely free of baggage is akin to finding a unicorn; you can believe in the concept all you want, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to find it.

The NFL is a league that defines the concept of reward outweighing the risk. Attached baggage to those who help you capture an elusive Super Bowl title can come in many forms.

On-field baggage is also present, as the Jets discovered with Sam Darnold‘s turnover propensity.
