Bell, the distinguished NFL running back who became a free agent this week, will sign with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, according to ESPN on Thursday night.
The Dolphins (2-3) were a team sharing mutual interest in Bell, who lives and trains in South Florida during the offseason, while the Buffalo Bills were also in consideration, according to an ESPN report earlier Thursday before the signing.
All three teams, coincidentally, play Bell’s former team, the New York Jets (0-5), in the next three weeks, with Miami’s matchup against their AFC East counterparts set for Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium at 4:05 p.
