The New York Jets will undoubtedly be heavily involved in the expected high-stakes sweepstakes this offseason involving free agent running back Le’Veon Bell. With a glaring need at the position, it makes sense that the Jets would look to acquire a player of his talents, in spite of the various concerns.
But what happens if they fail to sign him?
There are no guarantees in free agency and the Jets would be wise to enter the bidding war with potential contingency plans if they are unable to acquire the three-time Pro Bowler.
This year’s free agent crop at the running back position is especially thin once you look past the top options giving the team very few viable targets if Bell signs elsewhere.
