“This hurts, but it’s been a blessing to be here to say the least, i’ve enjoyed every second of this short period & gotta whole new meaning of what this city is like & it’s a great place to be,” Bell tweeted. “I appreciate Eric Decasta & John Harbaugh for the opportunity to be called a Raven.”

Bell, 29, appeared in only five games with Baltimore this season. In his limited time on the field, he tallied 83 rushing yards off 31 carries, finding the end zone twice. He will now head to waivers.
Before joining the Ravens to help a depleted running backs group in Baltimore, Bell had stints with the Chiefs, Jets and Steelers. While in Pittsburgh, Bell was named first-team All-Pro and second-team All-Pro twice each.
