Former Ravens RB Le’Veon Bell is planning a comeback for the 2024 season, according to his personal Snapchat. Bell stated that he will start training in March and hopes to be better than ever when he returns to the NFL. He also mentioned that he will only come back to play for one team, which many speculate is the Pittsburgh Steelers based on his past comments.
Bell, who will be turning 32 on February 18, faces challenges in making a successful comeback. However, his previous success with the Steelers is worth noting. During his 5-year run with Pittsburgh, Bell was a dominant force on the field. He was a 3-time Pro Bowler and a 2-time First Team All-Pro RB. He rushed for over 1,000 yards three times and was a threat in the passing game as well.
Unfortunately, Bell’s time with the Steelers came to a messy end in 2018 when he sat out the season due to a contract dispute. He did not return to the team and instead signed a lucrative contract with the New York Jets. Now, Bell hopes to revive his career and prove that he can still perform at a high level.
While the chances of a successful comeback may be low, Bell remains determined to prove himself. Only time will tell if he can make a return to the NFL and find success once again.
BELLS NIGHTMARE SEASON WITH JETS LEADS TO RELEASE
In a shocking turn of events, the 2019 season proved to be the worst of Le’Veon Bell’s career. The Jets, unable to salvage their relationship with the star running back, made the difficult decision to release him during the following season.
CHIEFS GIVE BELL A CHANCE AT REDEMPTION
However, Bell’s journey was far from over. He found a new home with the Kansas City Chiefs, hoping to revive his career. Unfortunately, his time with the Chiefs was underwhelming, with only 328 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns for the entire 2020 season.
LITTLE INTEREST IN BELL DURING OFFSEASON
As the offseason of 2021 rolled around, it seemed that Bell’s stock had plummeted. There was little traction or interest from teams in acquiring his services. Eventually, he found himself joining the Ravens practice squad in a last-ditch effort to prove himself.
BELL’S STRUGGLES CONTINUE WITH RAVENS
Despite his best efforts, Bell’s time with the Ravens was far from successful. In five games, he only managed to rush 31 times for a mere 83 yards. It was clear that his once-promising career had hit a major roadblock.
BUCCANEERS OFFER A GLIMMER OF HOPE
In a final attempt to chase his Super Bowl dreams, Bell was cut by the Ravens and quickly signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With this new opportunity, he hoped to make a lasting impact and contribute to a championship-winning team.
