The New York Jets are not giving up on their attempt to sign superstar running back Le'Veon Bell formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
With Anthony Barr spurning the #Jets, they have some extra money. I’m told they’ve taken some of that money and made a last and final big offer to Le’Veon Bell. It’s decision time for the ex-#Steelers RB.

The Jets have been the most likely destination for Bell throughout the entire process leading all the way back to when it became clear he wouldn't be returning to the Steelers. New York has the money and the need at the running back position with a promising young quarterback in Sam Darnold that makes the team a little bit more appealing than most.
Although big-name players have been agreeing to contracts with teams left and right ahead of the first day of the new league year in the NFL, Bell has remained undecided and he may have hinted at when that decision is made with his latest tweet on his Twitter account.

Another team that could be in the running for Bell is the Oakland Raiders who recently traded for his former teammate, Antonio Brown. Despite the fact the Raiders have Marshawn Lynch coming out of the backfield, Bell is an intriguing piece to the puzzle for head coach Jon Gruden as the team prepares for one more season in Oakland before heading to Las Vegas.
The fact that this album he is dropping on the day that he can sign deal being is about the gamble and the possible tie-in with Vegas, the Raiders might be in the mix or it could mean absolutely nothing.
However, the money Bell is asking for might be too pricey for Oakland, especially after committing to Brown's reworked contract and signing Trent Brown and LaMarcus Joyner.
