C.Biscuit97 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Josh Allen is running the wishbone. I think Bell is using the Bills to drive his price tag up but I really hope this isn’t true. Not because Bell isn’t a good player but it just confirms their outdated philosophy on football. Edited March 12, 2019 by C.Biscuit97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdamit Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 they have money to sign wlliams and bell with plenty left for the future. my take fwiw at some point they will be play makers .

Magox Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If the Bills were to get Bell which I highly doubt, I would get behind the decision and be excited to have a player as dynamic as he. Once you strip away the emotion, the decision doesn't make sense similar to the AB one. The Bills first need to have a better line and there are plenty of RB's that can look better than what they are when they have a good line blocking for them. Get 2 more O linemen, another WR, draft a early to mid to mid-late round RB and roll with it. Bell just doesn't make sense from my viewpoint.

Augie Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The Jets are in this? Do they plan on sIgning anyone for less than $15mil+/year? How much cap do they have left, and how many empty positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a top WR exists in this market, but for what it's worth, I think the WRs currently available are just as good as the ones that have already signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdamit Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 maybe thinking a little to deep here but if i had a few offers out to players who i knew where shopping for higher offers i might want to let it be know i am after a few big ticket items to grease the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Do people complaining about money just not get it? We have more cap room than we could ever need. We could easily create another ~$8 mil by trading Shady and cutting Bodine. I can begin to understand an argument about culture, though I think that's overblown, but complaining about him costing too much money at this point screams "I have no idea what I'm talking about".

dpberr Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This doesn't make a lot of sense unless Roseman is legitimately getting the band back together in Philadelphia.

BrooklynBills Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Short term deal, alot guaranteed. Not really a big deal for the Bills or Jets because they are paying QBs nothing. And the Bills are paying WRs nothing. If they have assessed that no WR of consequence wants to sign here, it kinda does make sense to grab Bell on a short term big money deal to help protect your young QB. Ask yourself this: if they have been told that they are out WRs Williams and Tate, and there are no options in a trade, would you rather pay Bell $15 Mill or donte moncrief? Are we better with adding a Bell and then a rookie WR like Metcalf at 9 or signing a mid level WR and drafting a RB in rounds 3/4?
