FILE - In this Oct. 29, 2017, file photo, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell (26) smiles during an NFL football game against the Detroit Lions in Detroit. A person with direct knowledge of the negotiations says the New York Jets and Bell have agreed to a deal early Wednesday morning, Mach 13, 2019, a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. The deal gives new coach Adam Gase and second-year quarterback Sam Darnold a big-time playmaker, arguably the best player at his position before Bell opted to sit out all of last season rather than sign a franchise tender with Pittsburgh.
