Bell asks fans for team suggestions, teases interest in Eagles
Now that he's been granted the freedom to sign elsewhere, Le'Veon Bell is working to determine which team he will join.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers running back took to Twitter Saturday to ask his fans where they'd like to see him play next.

Naturally, he was flooded with responses, yet he only responded to one suggestion: that he join the Philadelphia Eagles.

That reaction drew the attention of Eagles players Chris Long and Malcolm Jenkins, who seemed rather excited about such a potential partnership.

The bidding isn't over, however. Bell also retweeted NBA star Damian Lillard's request that the running back joins the Oakland Raiders.
