Le'Veon Bell's time with the New York Jets has come to an end.  The team announced on Tuesday night that they had released the talented running back after a disappointing year plus.

Bell played in just two games this season after a three week stay on IR.  He was critical of his role with the team following Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

This led to reports that the team was trying to trade him before the deadline.  They instead released him.

Bell welcomed the move and took to Twitter shortly after the news broke.

Saying he has a lot to prove is one of the biggest understatements of all-time.  Bell has now worn out his welcome with two franchises and is without a job.

If you would have said a couple of years ago that in Week 5 of 2020 both Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell would be free agents you would have been drug tested.

How the fuck did the Steelers deal with both of these assholes at the same time?
