Kansas City Chiefs Sign Le'Veon Bell

It didn't take long for Le'Veon Bell to find a new home.

Recently released by the New York Jets, Bell has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to ESPN.

While Twitter was sleeping: Former Jets’ RB Le’Veon Bell is signing a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, a league source tells ESPN. Bell wanted to win a Super Bowl and believes Kansas City is the place to go to try to do it.

Bell immediately joins a loaded Kansas City backfield that features first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire along with Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson. Damien Williams opted-out prior to the season.

In just 17 games with the Jets, Bell ran for 863 yards and three touchdowns, although a paltry 74 of those yards came this season.

The terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

Bell confirmed the news on Twitter.
