When it comes to voluntary workouts, New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell said on Monday that he knows what “works for me to be the best player I can be.”
“When it’s time to play football…l got to stick to the formula that I know works for me to be the best player I can be…l’m not just tryna win football games, I want a ring!” Bell wrote on social media, in response to a question about when he’s going to come to practice. “I want to desperately show everybody what I can what I can REALLY do…I’ll take the heat right now, everybody will forget about that once January comes around.”
Last month, coach Adam Gase appeared unconcerned about Bell’s absence at the start of the team’s voluntary three-day minicamp.
“It’s voluntary,” Gase said. “(Bell) was here that first week (of offseason workouts), and we got a lot of good information that week to him.”
The Jets signed Bell this offseason to a four-year, $52.5 million deal that includes $35 million guaranteed with a maximum value of close to $61 million, including incentives, a league source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
