Doc Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It might not mean much but it's a very bad look for Bell. He's already starting off on the wrong foot with the media and probably the team and most fans. Then again, did Beasley ever end up showing for the Bills' voluntary camp? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also did what was necessary to secure his franchise QB in Darnold. Jets will go where Darnold takes them, which will look good or bad on McCagnan depending on how he does. if bell ends up putting somewhere over 1500 all purpose yards they get their moneys worth with bell. I don't like their o line and they tried to address it with the center but lost out. I think Taylor should be their pick and a center in the second. Then I will be worried about them. Oh yea they don't have a second. Nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets another year because of Sam. Dude had 3 players drop in his lap in the draft. He can not evaluate talent at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media only had access the first day, so there were no reports on anything OTA related after that. Also, Beasley quit twitter so can’t get that angle. Not sure if he’s on IG but I’ll check. Edit: he is on IG but not a lot of posts. Pic of a baby girl 3 days ago. Edited April 24, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 10 hours ago, Bleedingreennc said: I see what you are saying, shows the type of character he has. For the record, I wasn’t in the group of fans that was in favor of chasing him this off season. We got him and it is what it is, I know he won’t be the same player he was with the Steelers due to the fact that we don’t have an offensive line on their level. I just hope he helps Sams development. My take is yours: he is what he is and pretty much everyone should know that at this point. Yet he's also been an extremely good player. I guess my concern would be that his style of waiting and picking out holes demands a pretty competent o-line. I don't know if the Jets have one at the moment. The Steelers do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I get why some guys don't show up for voluntary workouts, they aren't being paid for them. They get their paychecks during the season and if they end up getting injured in voluntary workouts they end up potentially not getting those paychecks or missing out on part of their contract money. Saying that, you could still show up and at least make an appearance. Especially if you are a new guy and signed a massive contract with more guaranteed money.

Turk71 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I predict the Jets offensive line will suck, Bell will be ineffective and start throwing the line and organization under the bus by midseason. The Jets will be stuck with an unhappy, overpaid primadonna rb. Glad the Bills stayed away from him and Brown, too much ego. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I mean it is voluntary and won’t mean a thing if he produces this season. But I won’t be thrilled if I was the Jets. He seems like he is just about himself. Still will put up numbers but he doesn’t have that winner mentality. I don’t know why teams spend big resources on rbs now.
