Bell's release leaves $15 million of dead cap in 2020 to the Jets and another $4 million in 2021. The 28-year-old played in only 17 games with New York, earning $27 million.
With Bell available for the league minimum, a number of teams likely will be in the mix to sign the three-time Pro Bowler. The New England Patriots currently have Sony Michel, Damien Harris, Rex Burkhead, and James White in the running back room, but the prospect of adding a player of Bell's caliber has to be appealing for Bill Belichick and Co.
