MJS Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) You know, I'd actually be fine with a trade like this. We need a RB like him to force Daboll to actually run the ball. But if they trade him in the division, that would be pretty Jetsy. Edited October 29, 2019 by MJS 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'd take him over Gordon but I don't see it happening. Teams usually don't trade within their own division and I'm sure they're looking for a haul in exchange. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 He is definitely better than Gordon but his cost is probably much higher also. Especially since Jets would need to eat the entire signing bonus, so I doubt it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 What Bell gives is a RB who is equally a threat in the run game and pass games. He is a 3-down back, and it totally changes how a defense has to play you on a play-by-play basis. Gore, who I love, is a running threat only. Bell is a very rich man's TJ Yeldon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I would love that move. I don't think it would take much to get him either as they probably want to dump his salary. I want no part of Gordon. All that said, we need a pass rusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 That's amazing. Hire a crazy guy as a HC. Let crazy HC run FA and draft. Fire the GM. Hire new GM that didn't want crazy HC or any of his acquisitions. Get rid of talented players. What's next, keep crazy HC? 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the guy we already had on the roster. McCoy is better than any RB on the team now. Stupid move cutting him. He loved playing in Buffalo.

And then they'd have to rebuild half the DL, so you might fix one area if you bring in Bell, but if you're swapping out three players to manage his salary, you're creating an even bigger issue, especially since you're removing three players from the same position group. Lawson hasn't lived up to the first round status, but he's been effective this season and I wouldn't mind them bringing him back but I think they're gonna offer a modest deal and he's gonna be looking for the big payday. Lotulelei and Murphy aren't really breaking the bank that much. And I know the numbers aren't there for them right now but McDermott's defenses, save for a season or two in Carolina, have never been known as sack machines. I'd certainly like to see them scheme up more pressure rather than just sending four almost every time. Seems like they have the talent in the secondary to be able to send more than four on occasion but we'll see what happens, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
