simpleman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 After being released this winter after signing a huge contract, I think that confirms the decision made by Buffalo not to give that free agent a huge contract. I will be curious just how little a contract Dallas will sign him to if he passes the physical. Another example of why not to give a Free Agent a big contract when he is not integral to your team being a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to think vets minimum with a heavily incentive based short term contract. just shows how desperate the cowgirls are for LT help. Quite possibly his last NFL shot before heading to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Bell seems like he can still be a decent backup. When Bell was at his best he was a slightly above average LT but he got hurt and hasn't really been any good since he had that one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpleman Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I often criticized the old Nix regime, but they were right on in not overpaying him. And now I see Jones was released by the Patriots already, so again it looks like they made some good decisions. And the Patriots are seriously short at experienced WR and TE talent going into the start of the season if Gronk isn't ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Big question, Will he change the spelling of his name again? maybe this time go with Belle? I don't know. Changing his name to a girl's spelling didn't seem to help his career. I can't see him doubling down on that strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homey D. Clown Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 These overly inflated free agent signings will probably not occur as much as in recent years due to teams getting burned on a regular basis. Bell, Posluzny, and Whitner are recent departures that teams have received very little from, and that has to have an impact somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) 7th round pick who barely played football before college & had scumbag for a father. Working on like his 7th year getting paid to play football. Good for him and that's a great draft pick.

I will be curious just how little a contract Dallas will sign him to if he passes the physical. Another example of why not to give a Free Agent a big contract when he is not integral to your team being a winner. It was hardly a huge contract. It was obviously a 1 yr / 3.25 mil deal, which I guess is kind of huge for bell, but not a 'huge contract'. From PFT " Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com reports that the deal will pay Bell $3.25 million in salary and bonuses in 2012 with no guaranteed money beyond this season. Bell’s base salaries will be $1 million in 2013, $6 million in 2014, $7 million in 2015 and $8.35 million in 2016. Those last three years are pricey, but the 2013 salary is misleading. Bell will be due a $8.5 million roster bonus before next season. The Eagles can guarantee that bonus at any point to spread the cap hit over the final four years of the deal, but it seems more likely that they would want to revisit the overall deal before taking that step.": http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/09/terms-of-demetress-bell-contract-point-to-short-stay-in-philly/PFT link Edited July 23, 2013 by towelie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Guy Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I remember when I thought this guy was our franchise LT I did too. He had some dominant games but his body is shot. shoulder and knees if i remember. hate to say it but i think Troupe is headed down that same road.
