Let them have him. We will be better off. Sam is gonna be fine. Herndon, Anderson, Enunwa, Crowder, and a RB to be named.
Coleman is solid. If we can’t get Bell no big loss here. Importantly we get Paradis to solidly the OL for Darnold and whoever is our backs.
The hope for me is that if we lose Bell to Chicago, they turn around and trade us Howard. He’s better than Coleman as a runner and is underpaid. Coleman will get severely overpaid.
What do we have left to trade Howard? 3rd pick seems high for him. Coleman will get paid but how much overpay is the question?
I liked Coleman until last season, forced into the number 1 role he was a major disappointment, two seasons prior he looked to good to be the second back on a team, now I don't watch many other games other than ours, so he could have had bad blockers or just awful play calling to contend with, Freeman didn't look that clever before he got injured either tbh.
Was just listening to ESPN Radio and they had Dianna Russini on and she said that going into last night the Jets are still heavy favorites with no clear #2 behind us and that the cap space the Bears just created was NOT for LeVeon.
Akbar Gbajabiamila just @ leveon on twitter and said, "am I allowed to tell people yet? Happy fo you bro, make us proud!" Sounds like we could know soon.
Gotcha. After Amos, ZaDarius Smith and now Preston Smith I don't think they'd have the room unless those contracts are super team friendly.
Packers just signed Preston & Zadarius Smith and Amos, I doubt they are still in on Bell. Gotta imagine it comes down to Jets, Bears, Colts.
I agree with that rank for the top 2 but I think Ingram is better than Coleman. Here is the issue with the Bell and Howard: I would love Bell but 16 mil and 70 guaranteed is a lot for a RB don’t you think? Unless Chicago will take a 4th rounder for Howard we don’t have the draft capital
I'm honestly not big on overpaying for RBs. So many other positions that are worth dishing out money for and RB isn't one. Create a solid OL and you could have just about anyone run back there and put up 1000+ yards.
PFT is reporting that six teams are still in play for Bell and that he could make his choice today. Raiders aren't mentioned as one of the teams. Bills surprisingly are.
