Former Jets WR Josh Bellamy arrested for role in $24M COVID-19 relief scam

Josh Bellamy has been charged for his alleged role in a $24 million COVID-19 relief loan scheme. The former New York Jets wide receiver has been accused of receiving illegal loans intended for COVID-19 relief.

The news comes just two days after the organization released the eight-year NFL vet.

Bellamy, 31, dressed in just seven games for the Jets a year ago. Signed to a two-year, $5 million contract by Mike Maccagnan prior to the 2019 season, the former Chicago Bears special teams standout was expected to help Brant Boyer‘s unit.
