The shocking move was announced by General Manager Joe Douglas on Twitter. Teams that are 0 and 5 don&#8217;t typically release their most talented players.\u00a0For some reason Adam Gase was never able to put together a game plan that took advantage of Bell&#8217;s strengths. This is especially true in the passing game where Bell was a non factor in Gase&#8217;s offense. Last year Bell had 789 rushing yards and a 3.2 yard average. This year Bell played two games and had 74 rushing yards and a 3.9 yard average. With so little talent on offense it is a head scratcher as to why Bell wasn&#8217;t featured and was rotating with 37 year old Frank Gore last week.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes after Bell spent time liking social media posts where fans were questioning Adam Gase and the struggles that the winless Jets are having in 2020.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Statement from GM Joe Douglas <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/By9XevVXVv\">pic.twitter.com\/By9XevVXVv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; New York Jets (@nyjets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nyjets\/status\/1316179823467917314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Here are Le&#8217;Veon Bells contract details from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/player\/leveon-bell\/2258\/\">Over the Cap<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-52587\" src=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Contract.png\" alt=\"Le'Veon Bell Contract\" width=\"1001\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Contract.png 1001w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Contract-600x168.png 600w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Contract-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Contract-768x216.png 768w, https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Contract-200x56.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/>\n<p>Jets fans are in our forums commenting on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/155076-bell-released\/\">Jets releasing Le&#8217;Veon Bell<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Jets have released running back Le&#8217;Veon Bell.
