Twitter reminds him he bet on himself and lost

Le’Veon Bell signed with the Jets and social media was quick to remind him that he bet on himself and lost in a big way that’ll hurt his bank account.

The best deal that Le’Veon Bell got from the Jets (4 years, $52 million) is a major concession from the former All-Pro that sitting out last season was a colossal mistake. He bet on himself and lost. He gave up $14.5 million he would have earned on the Steelers franchise tag after declining their offer that would have been the biggest for a back in NFL history.

Nevertheless, he can’t get that money back but he can move forward to resuming a career that saw him average 129 yards from scrimmage to start his career, an NFL record.

Signing with the Jets was always the front-runner for Bell but the Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers all had shown some degree of interest during the legal tampering window of NFL free agency.

Now that the news has come down from Adam Schefter after the stroke of midnight on the east coast, the world that stayed up late for the news, was full of extreme reactions to Bell signing with the J-E-T-S. Let’s start the social media reaction with the man himself saying he’s back in green, referencing his college career at Michigan State.
