BOLD Prediction...Shady and a draft pick for Bell


Hebert19

Recommended Posts

Beane is always on the move.  Shady could help Pitt short term and see little drop off from Bell.   We have money to extend Bell next year...

 

I just can't see bell playing in Pittsburgh again now that hes not reporting and team has turned.  He will end up somewhere....and we have something they may desire.

Just my opinion, but I wouldn’t pay ANY running back what he will get.  Especially since his new deal will be almost entirely guaranteed.  I’d rather spread the money around elsewhere.

 

I'm with you. I hate guaranteed deals, they never work out. Once you take away the incentive to play hard, these guys lose their edge.

I would much rather have Shady then Bell. Bell seem like the kind of guy that is going to decline after a big deal.

 Exactly give me someone young and hungry. Murphy showed some potential to be a starter as well.

Why would the Bills give up a high draft pick for a running back with heavy miles like LeVeon?

Or just use the draft pick next year on a new, young,cheap RB.,

Bell does not impress me as a "Process" guy

 

^ There's three reasons that it won't happen. The fourth is that Bell isn't really an upgrade over Shady - or at least not a significant one. Also, Shady knows the Bills' offense, Bell doesn't.

That gives the Bills the upper hand, since the trade really wouldn't do us much good. PIT would have to send us a draft pick along with the player swap.

 

It still won't happen, though.

Any team dumb enough to pay Bell what he's looking for deserves a drought longer than the Bills'.

I think you can get really good production from someone at 1/16th the cost. Not the same, but very good. 

 

Exactly.  Spend the money on the O Line.  Nine times out of 10, that's what makes RBs great, anyway.

This isn't the 90's NFL.  It would be a colossally stupid/Bills move to do this.  Similarly to when they gave McCoy a contract extension for more $$$ when it wasn't needed.  over the past 5-8 years, good teams don't have their RBs making 8+ million.  You pay the other skill position players first and the men in the trenches.

No.

 

he's just a RB, can get them anywhere.

 

if we trade Shady we better being getting a Stud Olineman and a pick.

 

 

Agree with the bolded, but why would you think we could get that for shady? I mean he is also just a RB and can get them anywhere right? You basically contradicted yourself here. In any event, it's a silly idea by the OP imo.

Running backs have a very short shelf life. I don't think it's smart to invest so much in a running back who has as many miles on him as does Bell.

 

Plus, he doesn't want to be just the highest paid running back in the league, he wants to make top WR money. It's his hill to die on. He's taken it upon himself to completely reset the running back market.

What was your opinion when the Bills redid McCoy's contract?  I didn't like it at the time but fortunately it worked out.  His contract goes thru the 2019 season so hopefully he doesn't have a sharp decline.  He seems to be a decent value at just under $9M for this season.

I don't think we can get that. Just IF we trade him  that is what I want.

This. Take the outrageous Le'veon money in 2019 and invest it in a speed rushing DE who will be our difference maker on D. Then draft a cheap RB in the 3rd round (à la Alvin Kamara). Much better bang for the buck.

Uh, not happening.  They are not going to pay Bell $17 million a year or whatever he wants

No, thanks!! If they wouldn't spend the cache on Mack, why would they on Bell?

I’m pretty sure he’s the opposite of what McBean is well you guys know rest !!! 

But as long as he doesn’t end up in our division and we don’t have to face him twice I don’t care where he ends up ( hopefully) in the NFC !! 

Why would we get rid of Shaddy when he WANTS to be here ( in Buffalo) IMO we need more players like that ,personality I’m  tired of hearing that we have be (overpaying ) for players just have them come to  Buffalo ( here’s to everyone ?who thinks they should get paid more to play here in Buffalo)

You wouldn't pay Gurley or David Johnson big money?

The running back I’d like to see the Bills go after is Coleman from Atlanta. Coleman is playing out his rookie contract and the Falcons have already signed Freeman to big extension. They will not be able to keep Coleman. Coleman is a  physical runner but has great receiving ability. For me he’d be a nice signing.  Beane and McDermott have a lot of first hand experience from their Carolina days. I could see this happening way more than a trade for Bell. Look for a team with a closing window to make that move, ala Seattle.
