Pittsburgh Steelers Le'Veon Bell — FILE - In this Oct. 1, 2017, file photo, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell (26) carries the ball during the second half of an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore. A person with direct knowledge of the negotiations says the New York Jets and Bell have agreed to a deal early Wednesday morning, Mach 13, 2019, a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. The deal gives new coach Adam Gase and second-year quarterback Sam Darnold a big-time playmaker, arguably the best player at his position before Bell opted to sit out all of last season rather than sign a franchise tender with Pittsburgh.

New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas literally predicted that the Steelers would trade ahead of them with the New England Patriots to select Broderick Jones at 14th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Iowa State edge Will McDonald IV was the Jets’ top target the entire time also, not Jones like many assumed.

Joe literally predicted the future 😲

Former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell admitted on the Steel Here podcast with Kevin Adams and Jersey Jerry of Barstool Sports that he used to smoke weed before games. Bell brought it up while talking about the infamous marijuana arrest with LeGarrette Blount in 2014 that led to him being suspended for two games.

“Looking back on this, like bro, like, that’s what I did,” Bell said. “When I was playing football, I smoked bro. like even before the games I’d smoke, you know, I’d go out there and run for 150 (yards) two (touchdowns).”
