NEW YORK – The New York Jets' decision to move on from Le'Veon Bell was a stunner. For a while now, though, it appeared inevitable.The star running back never seemed to truly mesh with Adam Gase or his offense during the past season-plus.
And Bell made it clear he wasn't thrilled with his role.So, his sudden release Tuesday night wasn't completely a surprise — although the timing was.
Rather than the Jets waiting to try to trade him at the deadline in three weeks, they instead decided to cut ties now with a player for whom there were such high hopes.“That was kind of the consensus we came to last night,” Gase said Wednesday.
