Le’Veon Bell isn’t too big to say he’s sorry… to some people.
The New York Jets running back used Twitter on Monday to apologize to fantasy-football owners who drafted him in 2018. Bell sat out the entirety of last season after failing to agree to a long-term contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, costing fantasy owners, especially those who drafted him in the early rounds, a shot at glory.
“this is loooong overdue!! but I want to take a moment to apologize to all the fantasy owners who picked me last year, I’m sorry I couldn’t pull through for y’all,” Bell wrote. “… but trust me, this year’s about to be wayyyy different, I’m bringing the ?? this year ??.”
Bell is a two-time first-team All-Pro running back and also earned three Pro Bowl appearances prior to his holdout.
He joined the Jets in March as a free agent on a four-year, $52.5 million contract, which could reach $61 million through incentives. Whether he’ll post gaudy numbers with the Jets, as he did previously, remains to be seen, but at least he’s considering fantasy owners’ emotions this season.
