apparently jets could be offering bell between 17-20m a year
i dont want us to compete with that money
I say, Take advantage of a rookie QB contract while you can. If it’s a 4 year deal, why not? Joe was making 25+ and didn’t have nearly the effect bell could potentially have as a game changer. I get it, it’s a lot of money, but I would gladly take Bell for $16m. The market is constantly growing. It seems like a lot, but is it really?

We have a winner. I agree with this 100%. We’re not just paying for a RB. We’re paying for a RB/WR who’s a proven star that will help Lamar immensely. Plus he’s so young. Please Eric

The only thing that can make me feel better would be an Earl Thomas or Bell signing.

Does it make sense? Who cares lmfao

I wouldn't mind Earl, but I'm leaning more towards DON'T SIGN ANY GODDAM BODY.

Tend to have success in those mid rounds and we will have a bunch of those picks if no moves are made. Just draft and wait. Some of the biggest FA winners to me are the Colts who have been smart with their cap. Don't just spend cause you have it.

This is an underrated comment. Signing Bell means we get a stud RB AND WR. We could literally line Bell up as a WR on some plays while Gus and/or Dixon is in the backfield because Bell is that good as a receiving back.

That’s what people seem to forget. He could be a #2 wide receiver if he wanted. Devin Funchess just got $13m you’re telling me you wouldn’t give 3 more for the best running back in football? People need to put the new market in perspective. The cap is constantly increasing, as are the deals being given out. Ray Lewis got $7m per in 2002 and it was considered a huge contract. Mosley almost tripled that in 2019.

Think that’s Coleman.

That's it. Thanks.

Why? Fuck that, I want them to offer 17m per and he takes the revenge tour for 16m per with us.

Yes I’d pay bell 16m per. He would lead us in rushing, receptions, and rec yards, and likely blow the rest of the league out of the water in YPC.

Bell transforms this team entirely imo.

Great player. Don't forget his pass blocking either, but do you really want to throw down for a RB like that with our teams inability to evaluate wrs? If we were to make a trade for one, then sure. Regardless, I do think DeCosta has a plan so I'll trust the procedure.

That’s exactly what I just said a few posts before... people literally don’t understand that Great players get paid. Good teams do build through the draft, but when the opportunity presents itself to get one of the leagues best, you don’t argue with it. There are bad contracts and then there are contracts that are high but worth every penny.
