The Jets have apparently been trying to trade Bell for weeks but reportedly couldn’t even get a late round pick in return according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.

Despite saving up to $9.4 million on the salary cap in 2021 by cutting Bell, he’ll still account for $4 million in dead money next season, a fully guaranteed contract this year plus bonuses that totals over $15 million under the cap this year.
