Odell Beckham Jr. might be recruiting Le’Veon Bell to Giants
Star running back Le’Veon Bell has made it clear how he feels about the Steelers and the Jets – but he hasn’t said anything about the Giants yet.
Now it looks like Odell Beckham Jr. has taken it upon himself to test the waters.
On Saturday afternoon, the Giants wide receiver posted a photo to his Instagram account featuring Bell and him together with the caption, “Welcome the newest member of the giants [pair of crying emojis] @steelerrb26 (ps change ur handle).”
The 25-year-old Bell previously told ESPN he would be willing to walk away from football if he does not get offered what he feels he is owed or if the Steelers attempt to place the franchise tag on him again this year. He played last season in Pittsburgh under the tag for $12.1 million.
“I know what I do and what I bring to the table,” Bell told ESPN. “I’m not going out here, getting the ball 400 times, if I’m not getting what I feel I’m valued at.”
Two days ago, a Jets fan reached out on Twitter, offering the three-time Pro Bowler “$60 million in cash if you come play for us.”
Bell replied: “That ain’t enough to come run with the Jets.”
But if Beckham can get in good with the Pittsburgh star, maybe it’s enough for Bell to come run with another New York team.
