Now we have Ingram and Hill. Is it really worth it to trade for Leveon when we have 3 good backs and there’s a chance he won’t even buy in? Idk

I don't think he was ever excited about being a Jet and who would be? Does he honestly think he could win a superbowl there? I highly doubt that.

That’s a good point.

Eighteen million dollars would be accelerated. Leaving the Jets with approximately ten million dollars of space.

Indulging this speculation a bit more: The Texans have 40 million in cap space and would save six million by cutting Lamar Miller. If a team were to make a move on Bell it ought to be the Texans. Bell would moves to a playoff team with a great WR who can keep defenses honest. The Texans just drafted two OL. DeShaun Watson is a dynamic player.

Playoffs.
Improved line.
Great complementary talent.

The Texans are a better fit than the Jets.

If I were the GM of the Texans I'd make a phone call.

It’s not happening he had his shot to come here but he chose the money, can’t blame him but he can kick rocks LOL

Lol yeah it seems like a done deal now. I can’t lie, I really wanted him during free agency.

That makes a hell of a lot more sense than the Ravens. I don't see the Ravens being interested in Bell unless the RB depth chart gets decimated by injuries before the regular season.

I don't believe we ever offered him anything. Was he supposed to play for free?

Mac, that isn't really a question. IMO the Ravens have no intention of trading for Bell and I am glad if they aren't... Bc

I’m not going to get into the money, taking more or less or any of that. When the man is healthy he’s the best back in the league, an absolute coverage nightmare and better than all three of our backs combined. So, I can completely understand why NjRavensFan would take him at that price. We aren’t currently getting Bell production and quality at a lesser price. We’re getting lesser than Bell production and quality at a lesser price. Not wanting him, because of some character worry is one thing, but the man is the best back in the league otherwise. So while I can understand the comfort with Ingram from a character standpoint, by comparison, Ingram isn’t close to Bell.

This is actually one situation where Bell might not even be at fault. Gase is the one whipping his dick around.
