The Indianapolis Colts are not among the teams pursuing free-agent running back Le'Veon Bell, according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.

The Colts have a ton of cap room, so they could absolutely afford Bell if they wanted to, but they seem pretty committed to Marlon Mack, who had a very impressive sophomore campaign with the team this past season.

Bell is said to be seeking a contract worth in the neighborhood of $15-16 million annually, with the New York Jets currently considered the front-runners for his services.

The 27-year-old sat out the entire 2018 campaign due to a contract dispute with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also held out through Week 1 in 2017, but he returned in Week 2 and ended up totaling 1,291 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground while hauling in 85 receptions for 655 yards and a couple of scores en route to a Pro Bowl appearance and a first-team All-Pro selection.

Bell, who played his collegiate football at Michigan State University, was originally selected by the Steelers in the second round (48th pick overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

He has made three Pro Bowls while also earning first-team All-Pro honors twice in his career, most notably in 2014 when he racked up 1,361 yards and eight touchdowns as a rusher and caught 83 passes for 854 yards and three scores.

The Colts are coming off a season in which they won 10 games and eventually lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. They began the year 1-5, but rebounded by winning nine of their last 10 contests to snare a wild card spot.
