Chuck Wagon Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Just now, TheBeane said: I'm all for it! I was just thinking exactly this earlier this morning. Trade Shady for Aghlor and pick up Bell. We need a significant weapon on Offense right now and Bell can catch and run. Front load his contract and have a few escape clauses in the later years. Beane wants to have a big splash and struck out on AB. Could see this happening... or not. Could also see him just getting into the bidding to drive up the price. Take advantage of Allen's cheap deal. The FA market wasn't great to begin with and is drying up fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This is the same source who claimed the Flowers interest. Call me cynical, but isn't it convenient to claim a team with a lot of cap space is interested...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this isn't 1960 But you have all the caps space. That was the saying leading up to this off season. Make it a 20MM cap hit this year and front load the hell out of the deal. 3 years in, you have an out, and can restructure if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be all for it. He’s a Buckeye reporter in Columbus. Bell is from Columbus and played in the Big 10. He gets a lot of coverage here. I didn’t see it, but he’s saying she reported it on TV.

Conner looks like a very good RB, Bell is just better and will be an instant upgrade for most teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Given him is 15 million per year, structure it with 35 million guaranteed throughout the first two years. Easy out in year 3 if he isn’t performing. People forget we are paying McCoy 7 million this year. Bell is easily worth double what an old Shady is worth.

MJS Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Big risk. He sat out for a full year. He'll have to get brought back slowly to avoid injury. I'm sure Beane knows what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I actually wouldn’t be horrified if something like this was done. Especially if the Bills got Williams also and drafted some receiving playmakers. Then got rid of Shady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok... that's more relevant. If your thinking of throwing dumb money around might as well throw it to a top guy in the league. I could see the progression. Start with Humpries. Money goes above 10 per year, heck might as well take a run for Williams. Speculating here, his money goes above 15. 2 mil more a year you have a realistic shot at signing Bell. Who has more catches and yards than either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The contracts the bills have been giving out are in line with the rumored ask of bell. Front loaded with ability to get out of the contract with ease after a few years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Only reason I'd be down for Bell is because I am legitimately curious at what we're doing at RB this offseason and, for sure, we wouldn't keep Shady with Bell on board....right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I'm guessing this is just Bell's agent using Buffalo's cap space to try to get other teams to offer more, but if this actually were to happen, I'd be okay with it under the following conditions: 1. The deal is mostly a year-to-year contract. 2. The Bills cut both McCoy and Ivory. If those things happen, I still wouldn't be thrilled, but I could be okay with it. No doubt Buffalo could desperately use a weapon and Bell is certainly a weapon. Edited March 12, 2019 by DCOrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt often put him out wide as a WR. His catch rates the past 3 seasons were 92%, 80%, 81%. He caught 85 balls in 2017 for something like 700 yards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Aaron Jones kid though, he did nice things for them. Bells running style is unique, if your scheme and o line talent aren’t a zone run type thing, Bell isn’t playing to his strengths.. he waits 3-4 seconds longer to pick his hole than anyone I’ve ever seen.
