The Kansas City Chiefs signed free agent Le’Veon Bell, the team announced Thursday.
Bell will team up with rookie first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire to serve as the counterbalance to an explosive passing offense led by reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes.
Bell, 28, played only 17 games with the New York Jets before they released him Tuesday, ending a tumultuous relationship between the running back and head coach Adam Gase. The former All-Pro is expected to add some punch to a Kansas City running game that lost Super Bowl hero Damien Williams due to a COVID opt-out this offseason.
