Le’Veon Bell’s first season as a member of the New York Jets did not exactly go according to plan.

The AFC East for the last decade-plus has been dominated by the New England Patriots, with everyone else struggling to have consistent good teams.

When Le’Veon Bell signed a four-year, $52 million contract with the New York Jets last March, this was surely not what he anticipated.

When the New York Jets hired Adam Gase as their next head coach in 2019, fans were hoping he’d be able to turn around the offense.

When he signed a four-year, $52.5 million contract with the New York Jets in March, Le’Veon Bell likely didn’t envision his season turning out to be what it was.

The New York Jets were expected by some to contend for a playoff spot this season. They ended up doing anything but the sort.
