Le’Veon Bell will not be signing with the Philadelphia Eagles. The former Pittsburgh Steelers running back is reportedly headed to the New York Jets on a contract worth $52 million over four years with $35 million guaranteed.
The Eagles were previously rumored to be interested in Bell. Current Eagles players (and even Bryce Harper) also publicly recruited Bell to Philly on Twitter.
Ultimately, though, a Bell signing never seemed very realistic. It was hard to envision the Eagles sinking such significant resources into the backfield when Philly is already tight on cap space.
