Bell released from the Jets, not that he ever wanted to be there besides for money. I feel like he will get plenty of offers. Gase to be fired soon.
Ya, Jet teammates saying he was a great teammate (i.e. Not a cancer). Agree some team will pick him up if money is not an issue. But I was surprised by this move. Apparently, he was unhappy with his role primarily in the passing game (not being targeted enough, implying he was used more as a blocker). But the timing of this, 3 or so weeks before the trade deadline, to just cut him and not try to trade for a draft pick??? However, the Jets gave Bell and his agent permission to explore trades on their ends, but there were no takers.
As to other potentially interested teams, money may be a hindrance to signing him. Bell signed a 4-year, $52M deal with the team last offseason. Plus his $8M injury guarantee for 2021 may be a hinderance, even if the Jets pick up some of the $6 million remaining on his guaranteed base salary for this year.
I'm also surprised Gase has not been fired already, and like you think it will be a matter of time before he is. Jets just have to figure out who they will replace him with in the interim.
How about them Browns? Can't wait for them to play the Steelers.
