Free agent running back Le'Veon Bell had an interesting response to Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard about the possibility of joining up with new Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown.
The trade saga between Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers finally came to a close on Saturday night, as the Raiders were able to complete a deal in return for a third and fifth round pick.
Now, with Brown in the mix, Jon Gruden and company will likely turn their attention to finding other ways to improve the roster.
Of course, one way to do that would be by finding a way to bring in Bell, who has been rumored to be a possibility for the Raiders.
And his response to Lillard's tweet suggests there could be mutual interest:

It's hard to put a lot of stock into tweets like this one, but it's clear that the Raiders have instantly become an attractive destination for players like Bell after landing one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.
While some still have question marks about Derek Carr's ability to be the franchise quarterback that Oakland needs, having a duo like Brown and Bell would change the dynamic of the Raiders' offense.
If the team can find a way to snag Bell when free agency begins on Wednesday, there's no doubt that this could be one of the most dangerous offenses in the league next season.
