Le'Veon Bell has outlasted all other holdouts in the NFL. Bell never signed the one-year, $14.54 million franchise tag the team laid on his table way back in March of last year.

That’s a lot of money but not enough for Bell, who is fast becoming the NFL’s answer to Latrell Sprewell.

Background on the Le'Veon Bell situation

What Bell wants is a long-term contract that will make him the highest-paid running back in the league, and we'll see if that happens in free agency.

The approach blew up last season for Bell, and his teammates eventually turned against him, with left guard Ramon Foster and center Maurkice Pouncey failing to keep their frustrations to themselves.

“What do you do? Here’s a guy who doesn’t give a damn,” Foster said to reporters about Bell, via Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I guess so we’ll treat it as such. I just hate it came to this,” Foster added. Pouncey, meanwhile, was just as direct as Foster when asked about his thoughts, via Tim Benz of TribLive.com.

“Honestly it's a little selfish. I'm kinda pissed right now. It sucks that he's not here. we'll move on as a team. It doesn't look like he'll be in the game plan at this point. Conner looks great. We'll worry about him in week 2.”

The Bell era is now finally over in Pittsburgh. With that said, here are five teams where Le'Veon could sign this offseason.

5. Tennessee Titans

Last offseason, the Titans parted ways with running back DeMarco Murray (retirement), handing the keys to the backfield to the pair of Derrick Henry and Tennessee newcomer Dion Lewis. Henry, however, lacks creativity, often resorting to his bulk to smash through defenses, while Lewis isn’t someone Tennessee sees as a bona fide starter.

Signing Bell will feel like a home run for the Titans, as he would be a scary addition to their offense. The Titans’ offense has gotten struggled under LaFleur last season, but with a fresh start and an explosive Bell taking handoffs and catching passes out of the backfield quarterback from Marcus Mariota, Tennessee could get back to the postseason in 2019.

A tandem of an elite pass-catching tailback in Bell and a dual-threat signal-caller in Mariota would put opposing defenses in a consistent bind.

4. New York Jets

The Jets have found a new quarterback in first-round pick Sam Darnold.

Their next big move on offense should be to address the team’s backfield. The Jets put Isaiah Crowell atop their running back depth chart, followed by Bilal Powell and Trenton Cannon. Crowell isn’t a bad running back, but any team would have no problem letting him go if Le’Veon Bell is his replacement.

This team can certainly use an upgrade in the RB slot, not only for the purpose of drilling holes through their opponents’ ground defense, but to also ease the pressure off the arm of the Jets’ rookie quarterback, who showed flashes of brilliance in his first season. Bell can surely get the job done and lead the offense whenever Darnold struggles, which is inevitable as he enters year two.

From a financial standpoint, the Jets have the cap space to give Bell the money he wants.

3. Detroit Lions

The Lions’ ground attack had to bleed for yards in the past, and while LeGarrette Blount and Auburn’s Kerryon Johnson were strong, it’s fair to sacrifice some new acquisitions if it means getting Bell’s services. A trio of Matthew Stafford, Marvin Jones, and Le’Veon Bell spells danger for the rest of the NFL.

Just imagine the damage Detroit could do on that end of the ball with Bell adding to the headaches of opposing defensive coordinators.

2. Washington Redskins

The Redskins’ backfield looked like a hospital ward with running backs suffering a rash of injuries, none bigger than the season-ending knee injury of rookie Derrius Guice.

Guice was supposed to be the team’s starter this season, but his ailment forced the Redskins to sign veteran Adrian Peterson to be the temporary answer in atop the position. Peterson performed well, but he's not the long-term answer.

Getting Bell would alienate Peterson (if he stays) the same way Alvin Kamara and Marvin Ingram Jr. did to the veteran running back a couple years ago in New Orleans, but the Redskins are not going to worry about his feelings so long as they have Bell.

1. Cleveland Browns

Las year the Browns drafted former Georgia Bulldogs star tailback, Nick Chubb, and he was stellar as a rookie. But again, if the opportunity presents itself for Cleveland to get Bell, it’s going to be very tempting for the Browns to pull the trigger.

Bell should feel at home in Cleveland, as he’s used to playing there twice a season. The running back could expect a bigger starring role for the Browns under Freddie Kitchens, who is rapidly helping Cleveland become relevant for the first time after several years of putrid play.
