Getty Le'Veon Bell
In the defense of Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen, Le’Veon Bell did ask for feedback. After the New York Jets running back released a clip of a video from one of his new songs asking if it was fire or trash, the responses poured in. Unfortunately, the bulk of them weren’t under the “fire” category.
Specifically, Allen decided to pull out the honesty card with his response to Bell’s new video, tossing the trash emoji his way.
Although a number of the responses featured a similar outlook, it seems Allen’s was enough to get Bell to respond. He tweeted back at the wideout and essentially called Allen out for trying to “seek attention for mentions.” But the receiver was quick to let the newest member of the New York Jets know that he wasn’t trolling, but that he shouldn’t have asked if he didn’t want the truth.
Keenan Allen Calls for Le’Veon’s ‘Real Friends’ to Tell Truth
It should’ve been your real friends that said it tho🤷🏽♂️🚫🧢 @LeVeonBell
After the first back-and-forth, Allen sent another tweet to Bell letting him know that his “real friends” should have been the ones to tell him the new video wasn’t fire. But for what it’s worth, the Twitter community did a pretty decent job of informing the running back of that with their responses to his original post.
The reactions went far beyond just the trash emoji, as some fans decided to even drag the Jets into it while pulling no punches in the comment section.

Le’Veon Bell’s Fresh Start With Jets
While Bell’s rap career doesn’t appear to be taking the public by storm, the good news is that he has a new contract and a fresh start at his day job in the NFL. The former Pittsburgh Steelers running back agreed to terms with the Jets this offseason, signing a four-year, $52.5 million deal in free agency, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.

Schefter also provided some additional information on the deal, citing that the contract can be worth as much as $61 million. He also pointed out that Bell will receive $35 million in guaranteed money.
Le’Veon Bell’s four-year deal with the New York Jets has a max value of $61 million and includes $35 million guaranteed, per source.
After sitting out the entire 2018 NFL season, Bell will look to hit the ground running and prove that the year away won’t impact his overall outlook. He’ll attempt to build off an impressive start to his young career and will take on a big role with his new team.
Bell is an excellent pass-catcher who’s pulled in 312-of-398 targets over 62 games while racking up 2,660 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. As far as a pure runner, Bell has topped 1,250 rushing yards in three of the last four seasons he played, with the lone outlier coming in 2015 when he suited up for just six games.
