100DollarBills Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Line up Bell and Shady in the backfield. Fake handoff too Shady and dump it off to Bell or fake dump it Bell and hit a WR deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiddenInLight Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 2 minutes ago, BuffaloBillsGospel said: 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. The OL needs at least one more FA regardless of whether or not we sign Bell. Likely a FA and a high draft pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The only way i am a fan is if it is a four year deal that the Bills can get out of in 3 years without a huge cap hit. Running back is a position that premiere players can be found in the second, third, and even fourth round. I would be more accepting of a wide receiver getting over paid than a running back.

buffaloboyinATL Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I cannot see this actually happening, and if it did it is a pure luxury move, but damn would it change the team.

Considering cap space is not a primary concern at the moment (and a contract could be front loaded to make it less of a concern through the life of it) and we've got JA on a rookie contract for 4 more years, I would much rather give Bell ~$16 mil than Tyrell Williams ~$13 mil. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100DollarBills Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I’m perfectly fine paying top dollar to put Bell and Shady on this team for this year. It allows Allen to mature another year, gives us another year to find WRs for Allen and gives the new OL time to gel together.

The other thing to think about also is those players were never really on the field at the same time. Some times they were but as good as the RBs were they were not at the level of Shady or Le'Veon. Shady is a HOF RB and Le'Veon is on pace to the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezertbill Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This is't going to happen. Sounds like a case of Bell's agent puffing up interest from other teams around the league so the Jets will up their offer. Many are reporting the Jets are the favorite and there isn't a close second. It's going to be the Jets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) As intriguing as a Bell/Shady backfield would be... that leaves money for one more big FA signing and gives us 3 premium picks where we can safely assume we may draft starters. We need a RT, WR, TE, DT and DE plus depth, but depth can be addressed in the mid-rounds of the Draft. Another Guard would also be nice. Keeping Shady means can sign one of those positions and then draft three starters in Rounds 1-3, leaving one spot unfilled by top end talent. Unless we plan on trading back, I can't see how we justify keeping Shady over using his money to fill all those spots.

technobot Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Big *if* but *IF* they were able to sign him and D Williams... talk about flipping the script. Last year, JA "protected" by a bottom 5 offensive line, offense had a dearth of playmakers. This year, the line is potentially good, but at least above-average, and the offense would have added a Top 5 playmaker, in his prime... At that point, would the real Josh Allen please stand up? Also, that's fine calculated spending aggression, taking advantage of Allen's cheap years. To temper the eventual letdown, I'll try to convince myself "not in a million years" Edited March 12, 2019 by technobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
