Miami Dolphins Twitter timeline finds LeVeon Bell trending

The Miami Dolphins tried to lure LeVeon Bell to south Florida last year after his release from the Jets. He chose K.C. instead. Could he be added now?

Bell began trending among Dolphins fans this morning when an image was posted of the Dolphins’ draft picks. One comment read “Miami Dolphins made a splash” and LeVeon Bell “presuming it was him” replied “yes indeed”.

That immediately started the typical, “this player commented so he is coming to Miami” talk, which then started the “why would the Dolphins want Bell” debate.

So the question is, should the Dolphins pursue the free agent veteran running back? Personally, I think the Dolphins are far better off staying away from him. He did little last year with the Chiefs, said he chose them over Miami because it would carry the ball as much, and spent his career with the Jets in the doghouse.

This is not to say that Bell doesn’t have anything to offer but I would be pretty damn sure that his head was right before I started asking questions about his salary demands.

The Dolphins have been a popular landing spot for running backs this off-season and Bell is naturally just the latest. Hopefully, the Dolphins learned their lesson with the Jordan Howard experiment last year. Some players just don’t have it anymore.

Miami will begin more off-season work this week and over the next four leading up to a final mini-camp in mid-June. Then the team will take the final portion of June and most of July off as they ready for the season.

Speaking of training camp, CEO Tom Garfinkel tweeted that this year’s camp would be held at the new training facility that is still under final construction next to Hard Rock Stadium.
