The terrible season of the New York Jets continues. Still without a win in this 2020-2021 season with five losses in five games, the Jets had tried to exchange their running back Le’Veon Bell in recent days. While no deal has been reached with another team in the league, the Jets have decided to cut the 28-year-old running back’s contract, just a year after signing it during the 2019 offseason.

The association between Bell, signed last summer for 4 years and $ 52 million, and the New York team has never taken. Far from its standards, Bell had a disappointing 2019-2020 season. He gained 789 yards on the ground and 461 in the air in his first year with the Jets, for a total of 1,250 yards, quite far from his last seasons in Pittsburgh, where he was close to the 2,000-yard mark, making of him one of the best offensive players in the league.

Thus, the 28-year-old had no impact last year, the Jets ending with a record of 7 wins for 9 losses, and even less this year since the team has not won a game in five games.

In the wake of the announcement of his dismissal, Bell wrote on his social networks: “I have a lot to prove, I’m ready. “ There is no doubt that running back will find work quickly enough as the talent is there. For the Jets, it is a new failure to add to the record of a franchise that has not seen the play-offs for ten years now.
