Antonio Brown has found a new home, but another soon to be former-Steeler is still available. With NFL free agency opening today, Le'Veon Bell is now officially free to agree to terms with a new team.
But the star running back is apparently having a tough time with his decision, as evidenced by his latest Tweet:
I’m sooooo torn right now 😩😩😩😩…decisions
— Le'Veon Bell (@LeVeonBell) March 11, 2019
Bell declared that he was “torn” about where to sign. Plenty of players have been signing huge contracts today, but we haven't heard any rumors about Bell. None of the top running backs have signed yet, and it's possible everyone is waiting to see where Bell goes.
The All-Pro should have his pick of a number of options. Bell, of course, sat out the entire 2018 season over a contract dispute with Pittsburgh. He's rumored to be seeking something greater than the record-breaking deal Todd Gurley got last offseason. Recent reports indicate Bell is looking for low-level quarterback money.
Now that Brown is with the Raiders, people have been connecting the dots between Bell and Oakland. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr followed Bell on Twitter recently, adding more fuel to the fire. Bell has also been connected to teams such as the Eagles and Buccaneers.
There are plenty of teams in need of a big-name running back, and it'll be very interesting to see where Bell decides to go. New Phillies star Bryce Harper recently lobbied Bell to join him in Philadelphia. Le'Veon Bell is still capable of being the best running back in the league and should be able to clear at least $15 million annually on his new deal. But if his tweet is to be believed, it doesn't sound like anything is particularly close to happening.
