Le’Veon Bell has been teasing his free-agency decision for much of Tuesday morning. Both Antonio Bryant and American Ninja Warrior host Akbar Gbajabiamila implied on Twitter that Bell had reached his decision.
This understandably had NFL fans looking for clues — any clues! — about where the former Steelers running back will end up. That brought us to this ultimate stretch.
Some users noticed that Bell’s Twitter profile had a green color setting. Green. As in the primary color of the New York Jets. It must have been a sign. But no, his Twitter profile has nothing to do with his decision, and it’s not a hint about the Jets.
While it was a commendable effort at detective work from NFL Twitter, Bell’s Twitter profile had been green for nearly a year.
This was a screenshot of his Twitter profile that I captured back in September when he liked a tweet about his potential last play with the Steelers.
As you can see, the profile setting was green at that time. He didn’t just switch it to green to tease a signing with the Jets. The green setting probably has more to do with Michigan State than anything.
It’s been that way for months and possibly years.
