24 March 2023
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Belldozer will be back in Kansas City for at least one more year.
The Kansas City Chiefs are bringing back tight end Blake Bell on a one-year deal, several reports say.
The Wichita native will be coming back for his third year with his hometown team.
His 2022 season began with a hip injury that made him miss most of the season. Bell, who is known for his blocking and quarterback sneak ability, caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown last season in four games. The touchdown was the first of his career.
