Imagine them in the lineup together...hmm. It splits up the carries as well. Then you have one very unhappy camper in Shady. This works contrary to his plan to accumulate rushing yards in pursuit of the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVGrown Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 With a shortage of WR's in FA, would having Bell, McCoy and Gore all on the team make up for that while we groom a rookie WR or 2 this season? Give the o-line a year to gel and draft another top WR next season? I'm throwing "stuff" at the wall. I actually like the thought of Bell being in Buf and all three on the field at the same time with Foster and CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Remember that time when we were supposed to have a two headed monster in the backfield of Willis McGahee and Travis Henry? And another time with Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson? And another time with Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller. All of these worked out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiddenInLight Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I doubt they sign bell but if they do I could see them seeing if philly is interested in swapping shady for agholor. There were rumors that they were looking to offload him yesterday. Then you cut ivory and draft a developmental guy to be our third stringer late or grab a udfa.

The released their RB a few weeks ago and they have money to sign him. IMO, reading the tea leaves, the six teams mentioned are those that submitted bonafide contract offers. Absent the cash, I think the strongest suitor of the six is Green Bay. Play on grass , with a non running QB, with no "name" running back to supplant or beat out in camp. Bell is not an easy player to evaluate. I'm very concerned about the reports he's significantly heavier now than he's suppossed to be.

HappyDays Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'd be okay with a 3 year deal. I'd rather not put a bunch of future cap space into a RB and eventually we need to get younger at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a very dangerous backfield, especially if we can sign Williams and draft a guy like Jonah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richNjoisy Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I can't believe bell is considering the Bills UNLESS the offer is substantial. Upwards of $16 mil per year would be my guess. Antonio just got upwards of $18. Bell is 3 years younger. Different positions, I know, but still a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Unless this OL get's at least another player like Darryl Williams or Saffold then i wouldn't like this pickup at all for the Bills. Bell is a lethal RB who can burn you with his legs and his catching ability which is great but he is a RB who waits for a hole to open before he hits it and we have nowhere near that OL... Yet. Yes there is the draft but filling those positions with rookies can sometimes work but most of the time it's a learning process in year 1, just my opinion though, I'd love Bell on the Bills but the OL would need more tweaking.

Putin Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I’m kind of warming up to this whole Bell to Buffalo possibility , Jets are trying to build a monster defense , maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring a weapon like that to Buffalo? and they still have a 3rd overall pick they will probably get a stud DT , Edited March 12, 2019 by Putin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 his last season he put up close to 2000 all purpose yards. that is something only a couple guys can do. he is a legit difference maker trading shady for aghalor is almost an even cap hit. might make sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
