Thirteen months ago, when it seemed like and the would eventually work out a long-term deal, the running back, in response to a fan who offered $60 million to come play in New York, tweeted " ." We mention this because earlier this week Bell, who ended up sitting out the 2018 season, . "Today, I woke up feeling amazing," Bell said during a Thursday conference call, according to the . "So I'm happy with where I stand." Where Bell stands, , is potentially $19 Kenta Maeda Jersey million lighter in the wallet than he would've been had he signed with the Steelers before the 2018 season. "The Jets were kind of the team I had in the back of my mind where I wanted to go," Bell explained. "So, you know, once the numbers made sense to me, it wasn't really a hard decision. I made the decision, and I'm happy with the decision I made." So does Bell have any regrets? "The decision I made is the decision I would do all over again," he said.

The expectation was that he'd earn back the $14.5 million he lost by not playing in 2018 and reset the running back market. Instead, that Cody Bellinger Jersey market never materialized and he's now the second-highest-paid back after . According to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, who spoke to Bell this week, there was some interest from other teams; and recruited Bell hard, and the offered $38 million over three years and it was " ." Bell was tempted by San Francisco's offer but knew by the combine that he wanted to go to the Jets. As for shooting down that fan who wanted him to come to the Jets for $60 million last offseason, Bell can explain that too.
