Let’s go get him

Fire up the shopping cart, [insert Jets GM here]

[CatoTheElder]

If he puts in the effort for pass blocking and receiving I could stand the lack of running production while the FO sures up the OLine.

We're going to overpay regardless of what we get from him.

[MBGreen]

He’ll probably tear his ACL in week 1 because god hates the Jets.

Manish on that Jettake podcast changed my mind about Bell.

You got to role dice with Bell.  We need a bonafide playmaker for Sam, someone all teams will worry about.  Doubt there will be anyone else on that said of the ball who is comparable

[Jumbo]

Hello yes I will take one player on offense who is talented please.

The free agent WR market this year is so bad, Bell might legitimately be the best RB and best receiving option available.

[Heismanberg]

Bell helps an entire offense by just being on the field.

Edge defenders and inside coverage defenders have to account for him.  You don’t have to keep an extra defender in the box, but he can kill you if you don’t.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports impending free agent Le'Veon Bell is seeking $17 million annually.

It's $3 million higher than Todd Gurley's average salary. Bell also wants $45 million guaranteed. It's a lot of money for a 27-year-old coming off a holdout at a devalued position, but Bell is going to get overpaid this offseason. With the Steelers expected to transition tag Bell, teams may be forced to frontload Bell's contract.

[Heismanberg]

Frontload it, babbie

[Johnny English]

Frontload it, babbie

We really might as well. Look at this excrement:

It's not like we need to save money to entice any of those stars. I wouldn't mind us bringing in Warmack, but mostly what's there is talented but old, or young but not very good. Donovan Smith might be interesting.

[Heismanberg]

Warmack stinks

If we go out and sign Bell, Jonah Williams should be our top offensive target in the draft.

Warmack stinks

If we go out and sign Bell, Jonah Williams should be our top offensive target in the draft.

Warmack's not great but he'd be an upgrade on Carpenter, and he's still fairly young.

If we draft Williams you're giving up on any hope of fixing the pass rush in the draft.

Take a look at the list of FA edge rushers. Much more attractive than the OL free agents.

And I could really give a freak about the pass rush until Darnold is protected properly.
