Bell was a shell of his former self once he got it. He played in just 34 more games the following three seasons with only one of them a full year with the Jets.

Bell's $52.5M Jets deal backfired; rushed for fewer yards than final Steelers seasons.

Bell signed a 4-year, $52.5 million contract with the New York Jets in 2019 after sitting out the entire 2018 season as a matter of principle over running back compensation. However, he became 'a shell of his former self' once he received the deal. Over three seasons with the Jets, Bell played in just 34 games total, with only one full season. He rushed for 1,218 yards during that span—fewer than his output in each of his final two seasons with the Steelers. The source notes the Jets 'learned that hard way' that 'Life's a Gamble,' referencing Bell's album title.
