Joe W. Namath Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Bell's deal is essentially 2 years. We are at least 3 years away from being competitive. Why not trade bell? he wont be hear when the rebuild is over anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bell is a fantastic player but we can’t do anything with him. Sad day for the Jets as far as admitting how bad we are. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app They aren't shopping him... that is a fabrication but a trash blog writer for the failing paper.

TheClashFan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Why the angst? IF the Jets trade Bell, it would be good for both him and the team. He deserves to play on a team that can block competently for him. He's pretty much wasted here behind an abysmal OL that is probably going to take two full years to rebuild, and even that only if they nail the draft next year. Now, the question is, what would make a good deal? He has a big contract, but only one more fully guaranteed year. Obviously you'd like to get a 1st and another pick, but I'll be very pleasantly surprised if they can get that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everyone, to a man, should be available if the price is right. Darnold, honestly, is the only hard exception. Would anyone really be shocked the Head Coach who didn't want Bell would be supportive of trading Bell? Especially given his history of trading RB's? Plus since all he cost us to acquire was cap space any draft pick makes the trade a win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think they were going to win out? I don't think it's a stretch to see them getting back to 500 the next month and a half if Hewitt and beachum come back. Do that and the last 3 or 4 games could actually mean something. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 How much of Brock Osweiler's contract did the Browns eat for a 2nd rd pick? Google Results.... In the deal, Cleveland picked up Osweiler, a 2018 second-round pick and a 2017 sixth-round pick while only giving up a 2017 fourth-round pick. Of course, there was one huge downside to adding Osweiler: It put the Browns on the hook for his 2017 guaranteed salary of $16 million.

He’s averaging like 3 yards a carry they don’t even throw to him. He’s useless with this team He’s useless in Gases system. Find a way to showcase him Gase!!! He’s in his prime. Should be getting 20 carries a game and another 5-10 receptions. Gase has given up on him as proof of last weeks usage of him.

CTJetsFan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Geez....everyone relax. This was a Manish "story". Enough said. I hope Douglas is smart enough to know you can't develop a QB without weapons (and obviously an O-line). I also hope that he is smart enough to see that Gase might be a problem with Sam's development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the right move. how is this the right move tell us? you have a top 5 rb and coach who does not know how to use him? so you are going take a big cap hit for 2 unknowns. That is a stupid move. Cap hit plus unknown =stupid move. How about getting a coach that can actually do his job and get him the 20 touches running the ball and about 5 to touches in receptions? That would be a smart move. Or do you guys think the entire team regressed like the oline and none of this is Gases fecal touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 it's reasonable to expect bell be on the trading block. his contract is actually low for a top flight rb given what zeke got and other guys. and at 3 yds per carry it's not like he's adding a lot to the run game or the offense in general. the only issue is he hasn't really shown much in terms of production over the season so far. he's about 75 yards per game below his career average so any prospective team would have to think he's lost a step. probably not. it would sure be nice to see him break one or two in a game.
