The Saga of Le'Veon Bell - now irrelevant

[guinness77]

Josina Anderson of ESPN reports one of the following teams "has a good likelihood" of signing Le'Veon Bell today: Jets, Colts, Ravens, Packers, Texans, Bills.

That’s some thorough reporting there.

In other news, for breakfast I may have eggs, cereal, oatmeal, French toast or pancakes.

But when he ends up in Chicago does that mean you’re having a fruit bowl?

Could be Bell’s team trying to drum up interest since they don’t have the deal they want. Colts have the cap space but we’ve heard they’re out on him before.

Also, no 49ers OR Bears? They were rumored yesterday

“I continue to be told by multiple league sources the Jets are the favorites to sign the Steelers running back. While there are other potential suitors, none are as serious as New York for Bell”

So one side has a set offer and the other is trying to convince the other to up/lower the price.

It’s gotta be Bells side trying to up our offer. If we were leaking that Bell wasn’t getting other offers his camp would obviously know it’s bullshit.

Stand pat and lock him down for something “cheap” like a $13 million a year deal.

Sounds like the decision has been made.

As @JosinaAnderson reports, several suitors for Bell. Re @Ravens, I’d be stunned if they were highest bidder.

You quick

The #Jets remain the clear favorite for Le'Veon Bell, per league conversations. The #Bears remain in the bidding along with the #Ravens. Both teams have significant interest.

Dan Orlovsky just picked us as the favorites for Bell live on ESPN


He had the Colts at 2, who PFT reported were no longer persuing Bell about 20 minutes ago.

Chicago was clearing up space this morning to make a run at someone (probably Bell).

Hopefully this doesn’t turn into a Nnamdi Asomugha situation where we have to wait it out to see where he goes...

[Johnny English]

By my reckoning we have around $40M in space left after we cut Lee and Crowell. I don't think we can afford Bell and Paradis; we still have to sign Anderson, Roberts and Myers, and have space left for rookies. We also don't have a backup QB.

I reckon that all of those moves are waiting on Bell's decision; I'm kind of hoping he goes elsewhere now.

Is Webb not a viable low end backup QB?

I certainly know he's not middle of the pack, but could he not be suitable if we have to pinch pennies? Especially since Darnold will have Gase and the midget as supposed QB specialist to tend to his needs to fill McCowns shoes

i dont know how much a chance we have at paradis, hes pretty adamant he wants to be a winner and hes supposedly reopened negotiations with denver.

how bad would it be if we signed bell and drafted someone like jenkins? i dont think that'd be a major downgrade, all considering.

obviously bell and paradis would be ideal, but being realistic, were the jets and theres no way we are going to land multiple top free agents
