How happy are we that we didn’t land Kirk Cousins? It would of been a disaster. I don’t think u can draft a center and have him start and be effective game 1 but we could draft a RB in the 2nd round - trade up or down to get a 2nd and throw him right in the fire. Maybe our RBs will be better with an actual O line. In either event we need Paradis. Bell would be an expensive bonus that would hurt us elsewhere. Last time I looked we still need a corner. I agree that we need Paradis more than Bell, but we can't control where players prefer to go. If Paradis should get 3/30 and we offer 3/35 what else can Macc do. Personally, I am pretty ambivalent on Bell. Not a huge fan of signing RBs at 27 to big deals, but it doesn't sound like it will cost as much as the media thought.

Not a huge fan of signing RBs at 27 to big deals, but it doesn't sound like it will cost as much as the media thought. Just did a quick internet comparison of Florida (for instance) vs NJ for taxes on a $10 million dollar salary and the difference is $0 vs just under $1M. I don't think fans, talking heads, etc don't consider this and other factors like weather, family enough. I'm sure this has happened to many of us here actually, but obviously on a smaller scale. Personally my move from Brooklyn to Alabama was certainly worth it financially and I'm just some dude not an NFL'er. Point being, people are people and just because a player doesn't sign somewhere doesn't mean the GM, whoever it may be, didn't do their job correctly.

jgb Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 1 hour ago, cant wait said: I never understood the hate either... the guy saw his teammate nearly become a paraplegic on the field so he did the smart thing and waited until he got a guaranteed deal and not risk what could be his only chance Doesn't matter if you're a plumber, salesman or an athlete.... if someone wants to pay you more to do the same job who the Hell wouldn't listen? For some reason we expect athletes to be "loyal" to their employer while any of us would at a minimum use the new offer to try to squeeze a raise out of our current boss.

ChuckkieB Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Bell is a must sign at this point IMO. Even if the Jets have to break the bank to drag him here, they need to do it. Playmakers like this just don't grow on trees and hardly ever become available for money only. This needs to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmnj Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 jets have to sign bell-this is an offensive driven league and they are throwing all of the money and ONCE AGAIN focusing on the defense -this approach has failed us for over a decade they drafted sam and have to give him a legit weapon-crowder and bellamy are scrubs and if you drafted Sam to be the qb of the future help him succeed and no other play in the league can do that better than bell can If the jets sign bell I will sing the praises of Mac(who I think has put together a terrible team up until this point) if they go with a srub like coleman instead my hate will grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmnj Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 this entire FA season has always been about bell for me-the jets drafted sam to be the qb of the future-he needs a legit pro bowl type of weapon to depend on and bell is that guy. The Jets have been throwing all kinds of money at the defense once again-sure it is nice to get good players but this is an offensive driven league and we have spent over a decade trying to win by drafting defense and making the defense the backbone of this team and it has failed us. If the Jets sign bell I will praise Mac who I think has put together a terrible roster in his tenure-if they pass on Bell my hate will grow-adding scrubs like crowder do not change our offense neither does bellamy and coleman is not the answer either Bell is the answer and although a different type of person he can be this teams curtis martin /tomlinson for the next 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I agree 100%. Bell is the player that truly changes this team. He keeps the offense on the field by keeping the chains moving. The "3 and outs" go bye-bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no RB after AP pulled up lame in Nov/Dec. The line was leaky, and the other receiving options were so awful that Crowder frequently got doubled or at least got zoned to hell. Anything else?
