Hebert19 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 How about no since no other team can extend him past 2018 unless the Steelers rescind the tag. He won't be traded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 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. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I would much rather have Shady then Bell. Bell seem like the kind of guy that is going to decline after a big deal. 1 minute ago, BillsRdue said: I'm with you. I hate guaranteed deals, they never work out.

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. 1 hour ago, Hebert19 said: and we have something they may desire. 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.

Gugny Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Any team dumb enough to pay Bell what he's looking for deserves a drought longer than the Bills'. 1 hour ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Just my opinion, but I wouldn’t pay ANY running back what he will get.

Tatonka68 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) A. SHADY is old an has legal problems, real or fake, at the moment. B. Bell is not a McBeane player, he is a self centered jerk and a locker room cancer. C. McBeane does not trade picks for players.

YodaMan79 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87168 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 there aren't many players that I dislike for things other than football, but he is one of them. please, I don't ever want to see him in a Bills uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Doesn’t fit the offense. They need a Shady like RB.

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) Edited September 9, 2018 by Putin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
