If you are wondering who the San Francisco 49ers targeted early on in free agency, I think we may have found the answer. According to Le’Veon Bell, the 49ers were one of the final choices for the former Pittsburgh Steeler running back. In that article, Bell said his decision came down to signing with the New York Jets and San Francisco. The Niners offered Bell a three-year, $40 million contract, per the runner.
Bell ended up signing a deal with the Jets right around midnight late last week. He signed a four-year, $52.
