Per jeff zrebiec, we have emerged as one of the favorites to land bell
In the article it says we are one of the favorites"There’s a lot of buzz in Indianapolis about Le’Veon Bell and the Ravens. They clearly need a player like him, but at what cost? https://t.co/nH7Twa45Pm"
I can't read the article, but buzz doesn't necessarily mean we're a favorite, does it?
Gotcha. Not sure how I feel about that then.In the article it says we are one of the favorites
I don’t hear that chatter anywhere else besides from zrebiec. Wonder how much of it is true.
I want to see how fit he is as well. Rumor has it he blew up to 260..
I don't believe Bell would be fiscally responsible and I don't think his patient running style would work in our RPO system. In regards to Ajayi, although he'd fit our system to a T, he may not be ready to play due to tearing his ACL. Tevin Coleman would be a better option than Ajayi due to the injury history, but another player to consider would be T.J. Yeldon. He has similar numbers to Coleman and will most likely cost less. My first choice would be to draft a running back.Is Bell going to give us a discount just so he can get revenge on his old team twice a year? I don't really see how this could work for us when we have a lot of other needs that require attention. A far better option would be to get Ajayi or Tevin in FA and/or draft another back in the draft. Also, even though Gus Bus isn't really a bonafide starter, I would still feel a lot more comfortable going into next season with him and Dixon than I did last year with Collins (was always kinda worried about his ball security and it showed up again in his limited playing time this past season).

I mean I’m not all in on bell by any means but I don’t think Tevin Coleman’s a particularly good runner of the football and I’m not a big fan of Ajayi either
If we got bell I’d be pretty damn excited
I don’t necessarily want him but if we ended up with him I’d be jazzed
and he turned down 14m avg deal last season. I think he wants a lot more than that and frontloaded.I don’t know why you’d sign a RB to 15+ million a year when you can get a younger and significantly cheaper player in the draft.
We need to get away from the RPO crap. Lamar doesn’t have the frame for it. We shouldn’t let that deter us from signing Bell who would be monsterous in both the run AND pass game and be an excellent safety valve for Lamar like Rice was for Flacco. Lamar, Bell and D.K. have me salivating.
