Bell: 'I don't regret' saying I'll never play for Reid again
Ex-Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell is doubling down after he wrote on Instagram that he'd rather retire than play for Kansas City head coach Andy Reid again.
Although the free-agent rusher didn't explain the remarks Sunday, he said he doesn't regret his words despite wishing he would've kept them private.
I said what I said & I don’t regret at all what I said...for those who have a PERSONAL PROBLEM with me because of what I SAID, that’s fine...you have your right! just understand I ALSO have MY RIGHT for how I feel about MY PERSONAL problem with dude because of what HE SAID to me

I’m not about to get all into depth on why I feel the way I do, but I have my right to feel the way I feel...the ONLY thing I would change is commenting how i really felt on social media...

However, Bell praised Kansas City's locker room and said he enjoyed his short stint with the Chiefs.
never did I say I didn’t enjoy my time in KC, because I loved my time there, and was probably the closest locker room full of players I ever been around...I enjoyed my teammates, the city, food, the fans, just about everything in KC...

Bell joined the Chiefs on a one-year deal midway through last season. He amassed 254 yards and two touchdowns on 63 attempts in nine regular-season contests. Bell also rushed for six yards in one playoff appearance.
The three-time Pro Bowler began the 2020 campaign with the New York Jets. They released him during the second season of a four-year, $52.5-million deal.
