Report: Jets 'undeniably the favorite' to land Le'Veon Bell

The early buzz at the NFL combine is that the New York Jets are "undeniably the favorite" to sign running back Le'Veon Bell in free agency, a high-profile agent told Connor Hughes of The Athletic.

However, the Jets aren't the only team in the running, as the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to pursue Bell.

New York is considering adding Tevin Coleman if it misses on Bell. The Jets apparently like Coleman's relatively low usage throughout the first four years of his career, as well as his lower price tag, according to Hughes.

"They won't miss on both," Hughes writes.

The Jets were 26th in rushing in 2018 and have a whopping $102 million in available cap space ahead of free agency.
