And why would Bell go to Manish out of all the writers on the beat? Yes, Bell and his agent. I assume the agent went to Manish who is actually the perfect guy to leak it to. Manish is thirsty and hates the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 At least it appears Douglas is learning from botching the Robby situation. If you're not going to keep him get whatever you can. plus he probably views it as a positive towards the tank as Bell is capable of winning a game or 2 by himself if they suddenly learned how to use him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJetsFan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 No, but Bell's agent may have heard from other GMs and told Bell (or Manish). Dunno on part 2. Pure speculation by me. Manish seems to slither his way up to the disgruntled Jets stars (see Adams). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Why go 0-16 with Bell when you can go 0-16 without Bell AND a 6th round pick? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAM SAM HE'S OUR MAN Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Screw Bell ; he signed a contract and got paid ; make him sit here and watch this sh-t show . If he wants to leave so bad , refund this year's salary . Damn pampered athletes . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might go somewhere with a great O-Line and chase a ring, but I don’t think he’ll be around much longer. He got his bag, and that’s all he ever wanted. And he learned from Gore that if he takes care of his body, he can play a long, long time and earn extra paychecks as a third down specialist into his 30s.

JetFreak89 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 3 minutes ago, Mogglez said: It doesn’t matter who the coach was. Bell was never going to be here more than 2 years. The contract was structured that way for a reason. It’s clearly not working out (yes, Gase is to blame). Douglas trading a player he would have never signed and getting something back is for the best. Bell is nowhere near as bad as what he has looked like last year and early this year. Regardless of how people feel about certain players, the one thing that EVERYONE should agree on is that this team has a serious allergy to finding, developing or even just maintaining talented players on the roster. All of this fighting about whether Darnold, Adams, Q. Williams, etc. are good players or not is all just a waste of time. It really doesn't matter who is or isn't a good player because if they are, they won't be here long term anyway. I can't believe how far this team has fallen in the course of two seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done. the writing was on the wall before we signed him.. a RB heading north of 27 yrs old who had multiple 350-400 touch seasons... which is the kiss of death at +25 years old... coupled with not being part a of program for 18 months... It's amazing anything else was expected of him. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as I've mentioned before I'm kind of a psychology geek and currently taking a cyberpsychology course and might cite the JN forums for some abnormal psych papers. The derangement related to Manish is hilarious. Just look at this thread. I asked how funny/crazy it is that Manish is getting stories that other guys aren't despite not being credentialed and all of you maniacs are like "WhY dO YoU LikE MaNIsH"?

Any team trading for him could cut him by August 1st next year and save his entire cap hit. Basically we are trading Bell to a contender on a 1 year $7m deal. i don't think anyone will take him for $7mm. if we eat half of it perhaps we can get a taker.
