Bills one of 6 teams in on Leveon Bell


Recommended Posts

This doesn't make a lot of sense unless Roseman is legitimately getting the band back together in Philadelphia.  

 

I can't see McCoy being shipped anywhere but back to Philly and that's only happening if Philly and McCoy want that to happen.

The guy has been a free agent for basically a year.  How has he not narrowed it down past 6 teams at this point?  

probably the team he really wants offer is light compared to some others

Yes, it would be truly horrible to add a dynamic two-way threat as a go-to for our young QB.

 

That would be the worst possible mistake imaginable.

 

The Bills have been obsessed with RBs for all of the 2000s. 

 

Gave up on Antowain Smith, draft Travis Henry in the 2nd in 2001

With Henry on the roster and coming off a 1400 yard season, we use a 1st on McGahee in 2003

2007 - Fred Jackson on the practice squad, we use a 1st on Marshawn Lynch

2010 - 1st on CJ Spiller

2015 - trade and break the bank for McCoy

2019 - we haven't done a FA deal for a starter, let's break an even bigger bank for Bell because we can't have enough possible HOF RBs on our roster.

 

Meanwhile, the O-line. Let's continue to build there, rather than signing Bell.

Like i've said elsewhere....they have money to do both.

 

DO BOTH. Add OL AND playmakers.

If we sign Bell I’m on the phone with Philly and swapping shady for agular. Win win for both squads

Whats Shady due this season- off the top of my head I think 6 mil? A nice cap savings that makes it easier to pay Bell- that said im not into paying huge cash for a RB. The smarter choice is to draft one.

Yep

 

The Bills are nowhere near an “either/or” type of scenario. They have LOTS of cap space and can make lots more without anyone noticing.

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?

This would be perfect!!!! Also sign RT, Daryl Williams. Draft Jonah Williams put him at LG.

 

LT - Dion Dawkins

LG - Jonah Williams

C - Mitch Morse

RG- Spencer Long

RT - Daryl Williams

 

QB - Josh Allen

RB - Laveon Bell

 

TE - Tyler Kroft

 

WR - Nelson Aguilar

WR - Robert Foster

Slot WR - Zay Jones
