JetsFanatic Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Depending on the compensation the Steelers are asking, I wouldn’t mind adding him. He’s a top talent and would give us a real offensive playmaker and would be great for Darnold to have a real weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Since he is under the tag, can't sign him long term. And since he is not willing to play for Pitt under the tag, why would he play for us. Why give up a pick for a 6 game rental in a lost season. He will see free agency next year, that is the time to pursue him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The Jets need every one of their draft picks in the coming years. Every single ******* one. And they need to be drafting nothing but skill positions, especially on offense. Under no circumstances should the Jets be exploring this type of sh*t, even for conditional 7th rounders.

He’s really the only legit offensive playmaker that we can realistically obtain anyway. But I’m not trading any draft capital for him without him signing a deal.

AbstraKt Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Le’Veon Bell is due $11.98M for the rest of this season. As things currently stand: these teams have $12M+ in cap space: Browns, Colts, Texans, Titans, Cowboys, 49ers, Jets and Jaguars. https://t.co/aw5YOhIzO5— Field Yates (@FieldYates) September 23, 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Im not advocating it. I don't think they can. The deadline to sign a tagged player to an extension was in July. Since Pitt did not sign him, he has to play the season under the tag and reach free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The Steelers have zero leverage. If he’s available for a non-first round pick then we should do it - we have the money and he is an elite weapon. Better we do it now and lock him up (if we can) instead of getting into a bidding war during free agency... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find the next Bell in the 2nd or 3rd round next year. You’d actually just have to invest a draft pick into a running back first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 If you can get him for a reasonable price then you make the trade and pay him whatever it takes to lock him up for 3 years. This isn’t about wins or losses it’s about giving Darnold help. The Jets have no legit threats or weapons. Bell will take pressure off Datnold. Do it.

It depends on what we have to give the Steelers as compensation. A weapon like Bell would be invaluable to Darold’s development. He really has no playmaker right now.
