Former Cleveland Browns linebacker Beau Bell hasn't given up his dream of playing in the National Football League, Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

A fourth-round pick (104th overall) out of UNLV by the Browns in 2008, Bell totaled three special teams tackles and a forced fumble in five games before landing on injured reserve with a knee injury. Bell made nine tackles last pre-season, but was waived by the Browns at the end of training camp.

Bell has been working out "24/7" since his release, and has had tryouts with the Seattle Seahawks and a pair of UFL teams.

"I haven't heard anything," Bell said. "I'm just confused, really. I don't know what I did that was so bad. I can take it if somebody had said I wasn't good enough. They haven't really given me any answers.

"It doesn't matter (which league he plays in)," Bell said. "I just want to play football."
