So by now you’ve surely heard that soon-to-be former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is reported to have agreed to terms on a contract with the New York Jets that will continue to contribute to the growth of the free agent market of the position. Only it didn’t come close to resetting it, as he had hoped.
According to reports, the deal he will sign tomorrow is for four years and worth $52.4 million, which comes out to $13.125 million per season. As you might gather, that is less than what his franchise tag would have been.
