SharkSwimmer 4,814 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) If, by some miracle, the Jets are able to trade Le'Veon Bell to another NFL team, Bell will fall on his face for the new team just as badly or worse than he did for the Jets.

harck 478 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Was reading team that trades for him just owes 6 mil the rest of the way and has the option of cutting him end of year with the Jets taking the cap hit. If the Jets are truly just shopping for a 5th to 7th rounder this is going to be a no brainer for many teams looking for a playoff push. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harck 478 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Miami or Buffalo would be best case for him, but I doubt the Jets end up trading him to division rivals. Pats too. The irony that all 3 division rivals are probably his best landing spots lmao. Maybe Gase is that boneheaded though. Edited October 13, 2020 by harck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TeeGee60 388 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If the jets eat some of the contract maybe patriots would be interested, they love the old divas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,814 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Trading Bell to a division rival would be a great move. Bell has nothing left on the field, and off the field he is a cancer and a distraction because he publicly feuds with his coach over social media. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harck 478 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Think TB and KC might be sleepers to come in and swoop him. KC still wants to utilize a second back, and Williams has been horrible. TB is bouncing between Fournette and Jones, but honestly, Bell is just a better version of Jones.

FitzMagic 4,260 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Cards or Bears make a lot of sense. Then a long list of teams that could use depth at the position due to injuries. A perfect fit for dysfunctional would be the Bucs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,814 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Bell is better than Ronald Jones? In what way? Please, pray tell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,814 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I guess this is a great time to trade Bell. Find a clueless team manager in your league who believes Bell will be traded to a contender and achieve instant mid-range RB2 status! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the very least Bell is much better than Ronald Jones and Fournette at pass protection. I doubt Tampa is trading for Bell at mid-Covid season, paying a few million extra at RB and dealing with any headaches Bell might cause. The Jets aren't getting squat for Bell, Devonta Freeman was a free agent until a few weeks ago. Yeah he was team shopping a bit, but the league is full of RB talent right now. On a side note, I don't think Bell is shot at all, the Jets are just trash. In the right situation he would still produce as a starter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jets need to hurry up and fire Gase so Bill O'Brien can come in and fix this mess. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Signed through the age of 30, which is the magic age RB careers die unless you are named Frank Gore. It wasn't a horrible contract in my opinion for a top tier RB. Maybe Pittsburgh contributed to his production, but the Jets haven't done any RB favors in that offense with that horrible O-line. They were bidding against themselves. Of course it was a bad deal.

harck 478 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This makes trading for him enticing for any contender IMO. Don't owe him much money, and can cut him next year worst case scenario. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

next big thing cp84 796 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 We taking bets here? If so, give me the Cardinals. I know the Cardinals gave David Johnson a bad contract then moved away from him... but they have Drake looking like a JAG and averaging 3.7 YPC and playing on a one year transition tag, so there isn't commitment there. Maybe more importantly, their runningback coach is James Saxon. The same RB coach that was in Pittsburgh 2014-18 (AKA when Bell was selected to 3 pro bowls and named to the first team All-Pro twice). Cardinals with Hopkins, LeVeon, and Kyler Murray would be very fun to watch. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that the Cardinals would do this, but: Can you imagine if they traded Drake to the Jets? He might jump out of the plane on the way to NY. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
