The New York Jets did not prepare a welcome-back highlight reel for Le’Veon Bell’s return to MetLife Stadium. Frankly, Bell’s New York highlights probably wouldn’t be enough to fill the timed requirements of an NFL TV timeout.
Bell returned as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, his first waltz through a green East Rutherford since his brief Jets tenure came to an end in October 2020. His return carried little, if any, fanfare with it, even if he holds a lasting New York legacy as one of the last big-budget bombs (four years, $35 million guaranteed) of the Mike Maccagnan era.
