This makes Bell the 2nd-highest paid RB in the league behind Todd Gurley at $13.25 million on a per year average.
After holding out for the entire 2018 season with the Steelers, the touted running back will now join the Jets.
Even though the Ravens and Raiders were in the mix, Bell took the best offer. Neither Baltimore nor Oakland could sweeten the deal any more for Bell per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
