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. They can do both.... Bell / Gore / rookie ~4th round pick would be a very nice depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers are going to be the Browns of the AFC North for awhile- Ben has aged and they lost arguably 2 of the best playmakers in the biz. 26 minutes ago, dpberr said: 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. McCoy wont have a choice- he doesnt have a no trade clause.

More than likely if we sign bell then we are trading or cutting Shady but imagine what having Shady and Bell would do if they had multiple formations of being on the field at the same time Could put all three of them out there and then have Josh Allen run QB draws and naked bootlegs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VADC Bills Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 1 hour ago, Mark80 said: How anyone could be against getting one of the best RBs in the league with the best receiving skills is beyond me? We have the money. We have the need for real play makers. He is not a malcontent, he just wanted to protect his worth. Nothing wrong with that. I would be stoked to get him. Especially if we can get 1 or 2 more starting lineman through FA/draft. Don't think this will happen. I have seen Bell's linked to the Colts during the season which may not amount to much. Not impressed by the Gore signing especially on the first day of FA Beane still has to prove that can compete with other teams in making the big deal without over paying and creating new holes to fill.

technobot Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Will admit I was never a fan of this, even in theory, but it's intriguing. Talk about giving your young quarterback a playmaker... I doubt it will happen, but then again I never thought this FO would be interested in AB. It's really different this year hearing the Bills be "in" on so many big names.

Akbar never played for the Packers. You're thinking of Kabeer. Akbar is an LA guy; played with the Raiders for a couple years, originally from LA, and went to school in San Diego. He had also hinted earlier that Bell will sign with the Ravens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no chance any GM of the Buffalo Bills can compete with other teams without overpaying. Until the culture turns and Buffalo is a perennial winning franchise, no one will want to come here without being overpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhit34 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 They have the money to do whatever they want, but they could even do some other moves and minimize the cap impact of a $15 million Bell signing: 1. Release or trade McCoy, saves $6.4 million 2. Release Ivory, saves $2.2 million 3. Release Ducasse, saves $2 million 4. With signing of Long and Morse can release Bodine, saves $2.3 million That still leaves them with over $50 million in cap space. Think about that for a minute...add Morse, Kroft, depth CB in Johnson, Gore, Long and L. Bell, really only lose McCoy and still have over $50 million in cap space. That's pretty good. Get another OL and a WR for $25M, have $25-30 million in cap space and 10 draft picks. That would be okay. Bell I would give a 3 year deal, like the thought of guaranteed $ in first 2 years when there is plenty of cap space and the QB and other young talent is on rookie deals. 3rd year is essentially a team option at that point.

Rc2catch Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I was extremely against this before free agency, not only for the money side but the media sideshow that would follow him. Not his fault but it’s a 24/7 news story if sitting out ruined him, if he’s in shape etc etc. I never really liked the free agent receiver class, was hoping more would be cut or we could trade for one. Seeing where things are now I would be ok if they signed bell and front loaded the he** out of his contract. His receiving could be quite huge with an upgraded line and run game. Mix in foster and a rookie and now I’m actually hoping to sign cole Beasley for the slot. So I have changed my tune lol, go get him Beane!! At this point buffalo could use the media coverage 24/7 as long as it’s not Zay with windows again Edited March 12, 2019 by Rc2catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Le’Veon Bell signing in Buffalo would be amazing and adds a major weapon for Allen. Now that hat said that statement is all I am going to say reference Bell until it happens which the likelihood of happened is Slim to None and Slim is at the door.

Figster Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Josh Allen already makes the Bills very hard to defend against the run, Bell would magnify it even more putting two elite athletes in the Bills backfield. The opposition is forced to think run 1st, unleashing Buffalo's biggest weapon, J A's cannon of an arm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
