Miami makes perfect sense. After the Fins crush the Jets Sunday and KC beats Buffalo,  Miami we'll be 1 game out of first. Fitz is slinging the ball all over. Hes has really good young WRs and a nice TE. Miami o linenis much improved as well. Add Bell if he's used the right way and he will prosper. 

TE? He can't be any good, He did nothing while Gase coached him.

[GreekJet]

The Bills have Jonathan Harrison and Brian Winters. They seem to like our rejects.

But then he trades 2 first rounders for cmart...

Haha, right. 

Although, another Parcells thing was always to get "his guys" in the building. I think he looked at Curtis as a great football player and great guy to have in the building. 

On paper, almost no running back is worth 2 1st rounders, IMO

2018 Sony Michel 1st round

2019 Damien Harris 3rd round. 

 

True, but has he ever signed a RB to a 2nd contract?  That is where the rubber truly meets the road when it comes to RB valuation.

With any of the 3 we will be seeing him. I'm sure he'll have 10+ receptions and 150+ all purpose yards.

And what about in the 2nd half? One thing NFL HCs love to do is embarrass an interloper into their little club

The only RBs worth a premium now IMHO are elite pass catchers in space ala Kamara

Prime Leon Washington would have murdered today's NFL.

Laurence Maroney was a first rd pick for them as well.

Wow, that was a pretty bad use of a 1st round pick. 

It's funny how having Brady masks everything.

Parcells was building a culture—something Jets needed then as now

I hope it's the Dolphins. I'm not happy, so why the hell should he be happy.

By pure coincidence the next 3 opponents the Jets face ...

What if he asks each of our remaining opponents to sign him for 1 game against the Jets, and then cuts him loose?  Thus ensuring Bell is on the field against the Jets in every game.

3rd round proves nothing. 1st for Sony is a good point though I will grant. 

Using a 1st and a 3rd in back to back drafts proves that he does value RBs, just that he values them when they are young and has no interest in EVER signing a high priced RB in free agency. Unfortunately, Sony Michel's body is about the same age as Frank Gore's.

Absolutely.

Bell said it himself...he has a lot to prove...

remember pre-season...

He'd end up in the pro bowl.

That’s one way to get back on the HOF track!

Bell’s agent should be thrown into the fires of Mt. Doom.

Yeah you’ve convinced me I was not precise enough with my original statement

This has been the most fun Jets season in a decade.  The JN entertainment value alone has made that so.

Bell trains in Florida. Warm weather most of the year. 

Plus, taxes dont bend you over that bad there.

He wants to be lead dog for sure. Lead dog on a winner 

He's not going to be a lead dog on any of the other 31 teams.  His best bet for touches will be a place where he's the clear RB2 who then takes over RB1 duties if/when an injury occurs.  

KC fits the bill there.  They have nothing behind Edwards-Helaire.

He could be lead on a couple teams miami and chargers come to mind maybe rams

Meh.  The Chargers seem to be doing OK with Joshua Kelley and Justin Jackson, and the moment Ekeler comes back, he's the RB1 again.

The Rams have a huge crowd at RB, and they used a high pick on Akers (who isn't even the starter right now).  Bell would be the RB3 there, contending with Malcolm Brown for touches.

Why?  He made $28M here that no one else would have come close to paying.

Will be very interesting where he chooses to go—he learned a valuable lesson that landing spot matters a lot more than the max value of a non-guaranteed contract

Should’ve taken the Pitt deal. He very probably cost himself the HOF which translates into forever money

Could happen.

The Dolphins shocked Beleichick last season in Foxboro. Fitz threw 3 INTs vs NE this year and the Dolphins were still in the game.

I think he was trying to be a modern day Curt Flood.  RB's are screwed by the current CBA and he wanted to make a point.  Admirable, if I'm correct about that.  Because its true.  RB's get run into the ground on their rookie deals and only a special few get a big 2nd contract.

The real mistake might have been turning down whatever the Colts were offering to come here.  They were rumored to be the other team involved in the bidding war for his services.

Didn’t know colts angle. Pittsburg is the warm blossom for WRs and RBs. Now he knows how cold the world is away from momma

It s.

The whole season is a train wreck. If the Jets have the worst record, who cares if the plus side is nabbing Lawrence. I believe that Darnold is good, but is not going to be great. Lawrence is cocky and has balls so I really doubt that he would pull a puxxy move and refuse to show up as Jet.
