Jets RB Le’Veon Bell says his contract was a topic of discussion within trade talks

It’s officially been two weeks since the NFL trade deadline passed, as numerous players have settled into their new organizations. One of these individuals doesn’t happen to be Le’Veon Bell. The New York Jets running back, who was signed this past offseason, was involved in trade talks near the deadline. However, nothing came to fruition.

Bell just inked a four-year, $52.5 million deal in March, which is a big number if you’re a running back. The value of that position has gone down in recent years, as many teams don’t want to pay their running backs serious money.
