Bell, who played college football for the Gamecocks as a dynamic tight end and H-back, will remain with his team for the 2024 season, looking to further establish himself as a key contributor on offense.
Bell, 23, was drafted by the NFL in 2023 after a stellar college career that saw him make an immediate impact at South Carolina. During his time with the Gamecocks, Bell was known for his versatility, able to line up as both a tight end and a fullback, as well as occasionally serving as a receiver.

I’ve learned a lot since coming to the NFL, and I can’t wait to get back on the field.”
Bell’s signing is seen as a positive move for both the player and the team. His ability to block, catch passes, and stretch the field as a versatile offensive weapon has made him a valuable asset in the league. In his rookie season, Bell contributed in both the passing game and the running game, showing that his time at South Carolina helped him transition smoothly to the pro level.
With this new one-year contract, Jaheim Bell hopes to build on his early success and take on an even bigger role in 2024, further solidifying his place in the NFL.
