Bell was released by the New York Jets on Wednesday after the team failed to find a trade for him.
Bell signed a four-year $52.5 million contract with the Jets in 2019, but he didn’t even last two seasons with the team.
The three-time Pro Bowler sat out the 2018 season while he was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers because he wanted a contract extension.
Now, Bell could end up signing with the defending Super Bowl champions.
Kansas City has a need at running back after last year’s starter, Damien Williams, opted out of the 2020 season due to concerns over COVID-19.
Rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been solid for the Chiefs, but adding a running back of Bell’s talent would certainly bolster their roster.
This year, Bell has appeared in just two games after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1.
So far this season, Bell has carried the ball 19 times for 74 yards. He also has added three catches for 39 yards.
