Running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Mike Evans were the key components in a 7-player trade between the Nagasaki Kamikazes and Ukraine Grainers.

The Ukraine Grainers and Nagasaki Kamikazes agreed to a trade on Tuesday that featured playmakers Le’Veon Bell and Mike Evans.

Ukraine sent Bell, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wide receiver Martavis Bryant and $1.25 million in spending cash to Nagasaki for Evans, quarterback Matthew Stafford, running back Jonathan Stewart, and rookie receiver Cooper Kupp, who currently resides in the Rookie Corral.

The Grainers were bogged down at running back and were looking to add extra firepower at wide receiver. Nagasaki wanted an upgrade at running back and got that in Bell.

As part of the deal, the Grainers have kept $2 million of Roethlisberger’s $3.25 million salary.
