NFL Odds: Le'Veon Bell Signs with Kansas City Chiefs
Just two days after his release from the New York Jets was announced, Le’Veon Bell has signed with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
The former Pro-Bowl running back joins an already stacked offensive unit in KC, but what does this mean for the Chiefs? The rest of the NFL? Let’s take a look.
Le’Veon Bell’s Next Team
After Bell was released by the Jets on Tuesday, BetMGM released odds for where Bell would play his next regular season snap.
Leading the way was the Chicago Bears at +400. The Bears were followed by the Eagles (+500), Cardinals (+800), 49ers and Bills (+1100) and Patriots (+1200).
All the way back at +1400 was the team with which he eventually signed, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fowler stated earlyThursday that Bell had narrowed his list down to three teams: The Chiefs, the Miami Dolphins (+2000) and the Buffalo Bills, but he had signed with the Chiefs before Thursday was through.
