Between Antonio Brown being traded to the Oakland Raiders, Odell Beckham going to the Browns, and the Jets signing Le’Veon Bell, it’s been quite a newsworthy week for the NFL.
It’s also been, at least in the cases of Brown and Bell, a wake-up call to every other professional athlete that if you are a big enough diva then you can get all the money.
But that’s not why we’re here today. We’re here because after Le’Veon Bell agreed to a 4-year, $52.5 million contract with the Jets, people went looking through his old tweets (as people do), and discovered a whole bunch of tweets Bell has made about his new team.
Turns out, Le’Veon Bell has apparently been a Jets fan for some time now.
Jets at 4:30…enuff said! haha

This, however, might be the best tweet of them all. It also is one that has, not surprisingly, been deleted from Bell’s Twitter account.
I guess $52.5 mil gets the job done now, though, Le'Veon… pic.twitter.com/qOpEab36C9

Wait, I thought it was $100 million Bell needed to sign with the Jets…
Eh, $100 million… $52.5 million… pretty much the same thing, right?
