NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Le’Veon Bell says he feels “amazing” about becoming a member of the New York Jets, and looks forward to doing everything he can to make second-year quarterback Sam Darnold’s life easier on the field.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers star running back officially signed Thursday with the Jets after agreeing to terms early Wednesday morning.
The deal is for four years and $52.5 million, but some wondered if he might have made a mistake by sitting out all last season after declining an offer from the Steelers and then refusing to sign his $14.
