Le’Veon Bell is not too thrilled with Jamal Adams after the safety was traded to the Seattle Seahawks.
Bell took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with Adams after the latter recruited the running back to join the Jets in 2019. Bell called out Adams for doing all he could to bring Bell in, only to leave after spending one year together.
ppl do all the hootin & hollerin to get you brought in, just to leave…lol like people weird yooo, the internet got these dudes doin whatever for attention, even when they tell you sh*t they don’t believe themselves

Bell spoke to Adams only a couple of weeks prior to the trade and was assured that Adams wanted to stay in New York as long as he got a new contract. Bell even went out of his way to say that Adams deserved every penny because of his production in just three short years. Bell also didn’t think Adams would get traded — and didn’t want him to get traded, either.
“Me, personally, I hope he doesn’t get traded,” Bell said at the time. “But I don’t think he’ll get traded. I do think he’ll be playing with the Jets. That’s just me, personally, because I don’t think he’s going to get traded. Honestly, why would you trade him? I wouldn’t trade him.”
A lot has changed since Bell’s comments and it became clear that Adams’ relationship with the Jets was unsalvageable. But Bell has every right to be upset with Adams after the latter pitched him on joining the Jets.
