    surprisingly released Bell, ending a disappointing tenure after less than two full seasons. The team issued a
    statement from general manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2020, in which he says the Jets made the
    move after having several conversations with Bell and his agent during the last few days and exploring trade
    options


    The Kansas City Chiefs signed Le’Veon Bell late Thursday, two days after he was released by the New York Jets, giving them some much-needed depth at running back and another weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

    “Kansas City, #ChiefsKingdom, thank you for the opportunity let’s go!” Bell tweeted.

    Bell, a two-time All-Pro with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was cut by the Jets after a disappointing tenure in New York that lasted less than two full seasons. Bell and coach Adam Gase appeared to not mesh since the running back signed a four-year, $52.5 million contract with $35 million guaranteed last year as a free agent.
