Running back Le'Veon Bell is on pace to hit the free agent market for the first time in his career and will likely have a plethora of options available to him.

One of these running back-hungry squads could be the New York Jets, who are expected to have more than $72 million in cap space. Many feel they could make a run at landing Bell. However, the 25-year-old has hilariously and quickly shot down any chance of that happening over this offseason.

Bell clearly has no interest in making the jump to play for the Jets regardless of how much salary cap space the team possesses. New York has built up a reputation as being a dysfunctional organization that has struggled to make the playoffs over the last several seasons. Their last playoff appearance came in 2010 under then-head coach Rex Ryan.

Although it isn't much of an indication of what Bell plans to do in free agency if were to hit the open market, it does show that he doesn't want to join a team that has already established themselves as a team heading in the right direction. At the same time, he has already voiced that he has the desire to finish his career with the Steelers. The team has reportedly set a deadline for a long-term deal with Bell which marks the first day that teams can officially offer the franchise tag to players.

Bell is in the prime of his career and has earned the reputation as being arguably the best running back in the league. He is also coming off another highly productive campaign where he finished third in rushing yards with 1,291 while scoring nine touchdowns.

The Michigan State product is also equally impactful as a receiver out of the backfield, leading his position in 2017 with a career-high and 85 catches for 655 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Bell currently has 7,996 career scrimmage yards, the most by a player in his first five seasons in franchise history.
