Buccaneers Signing Pro Bowl Running Back Le'Veon Bell
by privatebet.com - 2021/12/22
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already one of the best teams in the NFL, and they just found a way to become even better. Pro Bowl running back Le'Veon Bell is set to join Tom Brady and the gang, most likely as a replacement for Leonard Fournette. This announcement comes shortly after Fournette left Sunday night's game against the New Orleans Saints in the second half with a hamstring injury. He’ll most likely miss the rest of the regular season, but there’s still a chance he’ll return for the playoffs. His exit makes room for Bell to take his place, as soon as he passes his physical. He’ll most likely be the second option for Fournette’s replacement, with Ronald Jones taking the starting running back role. Bell is now set to reunite with his former Steelers teammate Antonio Brown , who also left the team in 2018. Time will tell if he’ll manage to adjust since the Bucs happen to be his fourth team over the last two seasons. Bell rose to prominence after joining the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013, but he struggled to find a permanent home after becoming a free agent in 2018. His blockbuster $52.5 million deal with the New York Jets ended after only one year, and he later had short stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens.
