They’re the head of Bad Boy Football. Can’t nobody hold them down. They love giving nasty boys one more chance. They believe in mo players no problems. Reid and Veach are close like Starsky and Hutch and the KC offense hypnotizes me.

Why am I quoting BIG and Puff and analogizing them to the leaders of the defending Super Bowl champions?

Thursday, the Chiefs signed bad boy running back Le’Veon Bell to a one-year contract, and it makes me nervous.

You see, Bell, to me, isn’t bad meaning good, he’s bad meaning bad. He’s a locker-room cancer. He’s poison. In pursuit of cash, he bulldozed his way out of an ideal situation in Pittsburgh, where on the field he meshed perfectly with Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown. Bell landed in New York, where he flamed out with the Jets after playing in just 19 games. Owing him an additional $6 million, the Jets cut Bell on Tuesday rather than deal with his bad attitude.

In football, you can’t have a problem with bad boys. The game is best played by them. But you have to pick the right bad boys, the ones who absolutely love the game. That’s my gripe with Le’Veon. I don’t think he loves the game. He loves the financial windfall the game provides him because he’s good at it.

Let’s take Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. He can be classified as a bad boy. He’s had some serious off-the-field issues. You know what motivates him to evolve and do better? His love of the game.

Remember when Andy Reid, as head coach of the Eagles, rescued Michael Vick from a federal prison and turned him back into a playmaker? It worked because Mike Vick loves football. That’s also the reason Vick turned into a tremendous leader in the Philly locker room.

Bad boys can turn good. One of my all-time favorite people and players is Ravens legend Ray Lewis. Early in his career, Ray was involved in a murder investigation. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstructing justice. Ray loved the game and God. He wanted to be regarded as one of the all-time, all-time greats. He leaned into his faith and became arguably the greatest leader in NFL history. He’s right there with Tom Brady in terms of leadership.

I don’t have a problem with bad boys. In some respects, I was one myself years ago.

My problem is with unrepentant bad boys. This is why I’m skeptical of my Chiefs tying any part of their success to Le’Veon Bell.

Bell is the kind of running back Suge Knight and Death Row Records would sign. Bell is Tupac Shakur. Dear mama, he’s thug4life. He has ambitions as a ridah. He’s all eyez on me. Bell ain’t got no muddafreakin friends. Grab your Glock when you see Bell rock. He’s hit ‘em up.

For non-Tupac fans, let me translate what I just said. Bell is going to bring dysfunction to the Chiefs. He’s troublesome. He’s going to make Andy Reid and Brett Veach sing Hail Mary.

I hope I’m wrong. Maybe Bell will be so embarrassed by his New York flameout and so highly motivated to make Adam Gase picture him rolling that he’ll be on his best behavior for the remainder of this season.

Clear enough for ya?

Why you Jets look mad?

Y’all supposed to be happy I’m free!

Oh, I forgot. Adam Gase.

That coach had a lot to say when I was in his offense.

My gut says this ends with Andy Reid and Le’Veon Bell riding down the Las Vegas Strip and Reid pretending he had nothing to do with end of Le’Veon’s career.

Second, do you really think Mahomes, Kelce, Clark, Mathieu and this group is going to be affected at all if Bell decides to be distraction? There's no way he has any ability to affect the locker room, even if he decides to act like a complete dick.
Yea you go with that. :-) Its unpossible. Never happened before.

You act like I am against the move, which I am not.

Good lord man I wasn't aware Leveon Bell walked on water.

Care to explain to us everything that happened since Bell signed with the Jets?

Frank Clark wanted $20 million per. The Seahawks couldn't afford to pay him so they traded him.

Has Clark been a lockerroom "cancer"?
Your argument is you don't think I know the Jets are a mess after I just said the Jets are a mess? Seriously?

He doesn't have to; the Chiefs don't owe him ****. If he's great, great. If he's good, good. If he's not, they can unceremoniously cut him.

BTW, who in your mind claimed that Bell walks on water? Honest question.

It's pretty clear, despite your claim about knowing the Jets are a "mess" that you don't know what happened there during his brief tenure.

It's not impossible. It's about as bloody likely as me winning the power ball this week, though.

It's not about being against the move. It's about Whitlock just flat out being wrong. He didn't say Bell could possibly be a cancer. He said he IS a cancer.

He's wrong. I'm sure you agree at this point, right?

And for the record, I don't think Bell walks on water. However, I do think this team pretty much does. I'm not worried about Bell because I trust THEM.

You're so convinced that Bell caused problems there that I'd like to hear, in detail, what transpired since Bell signed in 2019.

I know exactly what happened. I'm betting you do not.

Prove me wrong.

They fired the guy that wanted him and the new coach didn't. JFC man that doesn't explain cutting him week 5 of the season and eating all that money.

Why couldn't they trade Bell? If he is so valuable and no risk why wasn't another team taking the risk and make a trade for a low rounder?

You do realize he just got cut by the JETS when its costing them a ton of $? I know they are a mess, I know they aren't KC but he obviously forced his way off a team paying him a shit ton of money.

So no its not "impossible" for Bell to be a distraction, though I also find it not likely as well.
Whitlock went a bit further than saying "Leveon may be a distraction" he called him a cancer/poison. He never gives proof or a real reason why. He's just a click bait writing hack

They couldn't trade him because they owed him $6M in guaranteed money. Nobody was taking on that contract when they knew Gase wanted to cut him anyway.

I honestly don't have the answer to this because neither of us actually know.

I think Whitlock's case is he doesn't think Bell loves the game, he loves the $ or he would have worked it out in Pitt, its right there in the article.

He wouldn't be the first guy to make a bad business decision but he certainly fucked up not taking the Steelers offer.

Literally everyone knew he'd be available for free very soon, which, of course, he was.

$6MM is too much for potential real playmaker?

I think the truth is nobody knows what Bell is right now. Nobody.

I honestly don't have huge hopes, he hasn't been an effective football player in 2.5 years or so. I hope he kills it but I have my doubts. Still better than Darrell Williams though so its an upgrade.

It's absolutely too much when pretty much everybody in the league knew if they waited 48 hours, they could pay him chump change and leave the Jets with the bill. It has nothing to do with Bell's ability, it's simple economics.

He was an effective football player last year. He was 20th in the league, amongst all non-QB's, in yards from scrimmage. 20th. He had more yards from scrimmage last year than anybody on the Chiefs.
