Five straight losses and little to no involvement from arguably its top offensive weapon. The New York Jets are reeling this season and star running back Le'Veon Bell isn't pleased.

In his first game back from injury on Sunday, Bell rushed 13 times for 60 yards during New York's 30-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and was rarely looked at in the passing game, targeted only once for a 7-yard reception. According to the New York Post, Bell "liked" several messages on Twitter after the game from analysts questioning Jets head coach Adam Gase and one mentioning a potential trade from the franchise.

Bell, a three-time Pro Bowl ballcarrier is in the second season of a four-year, $52.5 million contract with the Jets. He signed with New York after following a contract stalemate with the Pittsburgh Steelers after he sat out an entire season amid a dispute.

Per reports, Bell declined to speak to reporters after Sunday's loss, which is when several analysts pointed out his social media activity.

After the franchise's the worst start in 24 years, Gase said quality practices during the week aren't resulting in crisp execution on Sundays.

"If you watch these guys practice, you watch how these guys go through the week and the effort and how these guys are trying to get all this stuff right and figure out a way to correct the mistakes that are made and, I mean, if you there day in and day out and saw how those guys practiced last week, you wouldn't know what our record was," Gase said. "Wednesday and Thursday, those guys, they came out and, I mean, it was max effort. They were flying around. They competed. The execution was really good.

"Friday, not practicing Friday, kind of took the wind out of our sails a little bit. But I thought they did a good job Saturday when they came in and we kind extended the day and try to make up for all that stuff through walkthroughs and going through practice the day before (Thursday). I guess it's just what I see at practice. The result, it just doesn't match up."

Offensive tackle George Fant said his team hasn't given up on the season.

"Bro, this is the league, man," Fant said. "Everybody's in here. They want to win, man. I can't really answer that because it's like, of course, everybody wants to win. We want to win. It's not like we don't want to win. So guys just want to keep working and getting better every day."
