RB Le’Veon Bell – $15.5 million
This is a tricky one for the Jets. Le’Veon Bell had one of worst seasons of his career and isn’t worth all the money the Jets are paying him, but they also can’t really afford to let him go one year after signing him to a four-year, $52.5 million contract because he has a $17 million cap hit in 2020.
Bell finished with 1,250 combined yards and four touchdowns and saw his fewest touches with at least 13 games played since his rookie year in 2015. The Jets could try to trade Bell, but likely wouldn’t get much in return considering his contract.
Verdict: Safe
