joewilly12 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Jets intensify efforts to trade Le’Veon Bell after Twitter tantrum By Brian Costello October 13, 2020 | 1:34pm | Updated Le’Veon Bell may get his wish. The Jets are actively trying to trade their disgruntled running back, a source confirmed. Bell took to Twitter after Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals and liked several tweets criticizing how coach Adam Gase utilized him. He liked one tweet that said the Jets should trade him. Moving Bell will not be easy. He is owed about $6.4 million for the rest of the season. That number would drop to around $5 million by the Nov. 3 trade deadline. The Jets certainly would have to eat some of that salary to get a trade done. Bell, 28, has been a disappointment since signing a four-year, $52.5 million contract with the Jets in March 2019. The marriage has felt doomed from the start. Former GM Mike Maccagnan signed Bell over objections from Gase, who preferred to invest the money in other positions. Those objections became public after Maccagnan was fired in May 2019. The two have repeatedly said there are no issues between them, but brushfires repeatedly come up. The latest occurred after Bell only had one catch in Sunday’s game. He refused to speak to reporters after the game on a Zoom call and then had his Twitter tantrum. Gase said he understood Bell’s frustration but wished he had come to him instead of turning to social media to express it. That may have been the final straw for Jets GM Joe Douglas, who had trade talks about Bell at last year’s deadline and also was open to trading him in the offseason. Now, it seems Douglas is trying harder to move Bell and possibly get a draft pick for him. The team surely will cut Bell after this season. He has no more guaranteed money in his deal. If they cut him now, though, they owe him the rest of his 2020 salary and he would still have a $15 million salary cap charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he lost his credentials for reasons that were not justified if he wasn't able to fight it and get them back. Which, again, makes it crazy that he beat other guys to the punch on this. I legit thought he would never see another scoop after that. I was wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Would Bell will be willing to take pay cut now just to get away from Adam Gase? The Jets are looking for a late-round pick and perhaps a middling player, according to sources. The News reported earlier Tuesday that Bell told friends after last season that he would likely request a trade if things continued to go south this season. He also expressed uneasiness about Gase’s weekly game plans last year without complaining. Now, it looks like things have been pushed to the brink.

Bell gets to go somewhere with a OC that will utilize him correctly and isnt incompetent. And Jets get a (day 3) pick for a RB we would have cut after the season. Thanks Mac I mean that's an awful lot to pay a RB who hasn't done much in the last two years going into what is likely a very tough cap year.

rex-n-effect Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I wouldn't believe it until it happens. This is too easily a story being spread by one side to evoke a reaction. The Jets are shopping him to make him shut up so he doesn't scare off suitors or, far more likely, Bell's agent is spreading the story to get teams to take a look at Bell and call the Jets.

Does he have sources (can't believe this ie even a thing)? Sure. Do his sources probably use him more than newsworthy info he gets? I definitely believe, yes. He is akin to a times square pro.
