ScarletKnight89 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Well, to be fair to Macc, Bell is a better player than Gordon. But regardless, you don't pay running backs big money in the NFL. I loved Bell as a player, but that contract was always stupid. The same can be said for Mosley. Another great player, but signed to a ridiculous contract. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Le'Veon Bell was considering his options in FA last year. On one line he had Mike Maccagnan. On the other he had Mitch McClagnan. The bidding war was intense! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s utterly disgraceful. Yup, that's the point. Acquiring Bell was something I was never against. He's a talent and still has some mileage. It was always the $$$ I wasn't thrilled about. It's the same situation with other good players. Look at Robby...or even Jamal. It's not a question about whether there's a good role for them on this team, it's about how much they'll cost. Haven't heard anyone say they wouldn't want Robby for $8-9M per year. Almost nobody wants him for $14M per year. Bell at $9-10M per season would have a lot of fans here. At $13.5M it gets a lot of us thinking about opportunity cost....and how that $4M difference would help bring another player onboard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The people that wanted Bell are the ones who wanted Revis back a few years ago, and are the same ones that want Clowney now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurley is a big concern with that knee of his. Is Devonta Freeman still out there? I'm surprised he's not a Tampa Bay Buccaneer yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't disagree with your post, because I do.....but have you seen this free agency period? An extra $4M isn't the difference in talented FA's coming to this team.

FidelioJet Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I must admit I was fully on board with paying him whatever it took. But I had no idea how slow he became and that he was finished. It is the problem with RB’s. They are great one year, hit a wall and are completely done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This royally screws my FF team. Gordon is one of my keepers. On another note, we shoukd try to sign Royce Freeman as a backup to Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 There were a couple of the special SOJF on here that were slobbering about how Bell was going to be monster..then slowly the switched to narrative of 'you have to wait he hasn't played so you can't expect him to dominate in September' to their final and current narrative of 'Gase didn't want Bell' which they initially refused to believe when the rumors were coming out while Max was still here. Good to see those same people still spouting similarly...iffy, we'll go with iffy, ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heymangold Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Bell is a much better player than Gurley and Gordon. The jets also had TONS of cap space last off season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
