Le’Veon Bell plans to drop his new album on the first day of NFL free agency

Running back Le’Veon Bell is dropping a new hip hop album next week. And he’s doing it in the most Le’Veon Bell way possible by releasing his latest record on the same day NFL free agency begins.

Bell has spent the last year thumbing his nose into the air at the Pittsburgh Steelers and its fanbase.  Bell gave away $14.5 million last season betting on himself in free agency and in just a few days we will all know if he was right.

Currently, the highest total guaranteed running back contract according to Over the Cap is that of Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley. He has $45 million in total guaranteed money. So based on that, if Bell thinks he is the best back in the league and deserves the most, $60 million in total guarantees is his break-even point.
