JoJoTownsell1 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Bell is so great when he doesn't play guys like Deangelo Williams and James Connor come in and do just about as good. Pass unless it's for like a 5th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 His goal is to play as little as possible this year and hit free agency next year By rule the Jets cannot sign him to an extension That's like trying to buy a car where the seller says, "it's got too many miles on it and the tread on the tires is wearing down, I don't want to drive it until next April's auction" and you up your offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Another concern would be the torn hammy after the 3rd practice. He missed all of training camp and can't be anywhere near football shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way it would make sense to trade for him is if a contender thinks he can make the difference for them in a stretch run and in the playoffs. Say, Fournette's injury is worse than expectred, might be worth it for a team like the Jags to send a pick to Pitt. But aside from someone looking to win now, a trade would not make much sense.

He never said he doesn't want to play for the Jets. He said that $60 million isn't enough to play for the Jets. Completely different statement and meaning from what was being implied earlier. And it's the ame thing he would have said with regard to any team at $60 million. So, um.... "No" to Bell saying he doesn't want to play for the Jets. That's a complete distortion of what Bell actually said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenGhost Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Le'Veon Bell is undoubtedly a special talent, but owes a lot to the Steeler's offensive line and other weapons. That is evidenced by the fact DeAngelo Williams looked good when he started there and James Connor looking great at the moment. If Bell comes here behind this line and no other offensive weapons, he will see a considerable drop in production. It would be a mistake to trade for Bell.

Skeptable Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think Bell can be had for a 4th rounder immediately... if they wait a week or two its gonna go down to 5th. People that think teams will trade more then that are insane... There is a small market for him and there is still a huge liability that he won't come back to the team that trades for him. He cannot sign a long term deal, so why, even if he is traded does he suit up for any team before week 10. There will have to be some sort of back deal handshake that he won't have to honor but could really hurt the reputation of Adisa Bakari, if he doesn't honor it. Bell might also ask for a 15 Million dollar contract that pays him the full salary he would have had or he still sits out till week 10. This is not Mack or Garapollo, this is a RB.

An injury waiting to happen. It doesn't really matter you would have to be crazy to think the Steelers trade him in the AFC anyway. If he is traded what team in the NFC could use an elite RB?
