This times a million. The best ones are nice to have- you can also get 80% of that with a day 2 pick. It's probably the least consequential on the field at a given time. Bell is not a HR guy on top of it so idk.

If this was correct all NFL teams would be doing fine with their RB corp. We all know that;s not the case. Tell me, how many RBs in last years draft were drafted in the third or later that are giving their team that 80%? Not many.

Seattle is expected to have lots of cap space next year, so depending on how the rookie RB turns out and their new Oline? Seattle could be a potential landing spot?

I'd be ok with him going OUT of the AFC.

He wouldn't improve us much. Have you noticed we are current champions without him?

Yes but, 6 is greater than one, and your state rent is due.......

Send that check over to Heinz Field, C/O the Steelers, your landlord.

Lemme dumb it down for you.....

52 super bowls, we've been there 8 times, done it 6.
It took you 52 years to get it done once......big accomplishment.
Back to your safe place, cupcake.

If both teams are looking to the future this is making even more sense. Seattle wants to return to a run style offense. ET wants out. One of the possible trade rumors was/is Shaq Mason the road grader G from NE to Sea in exchange for ET. Shaq is on his contract year and will demand a hefty pay day. I think a lot depends on what the Rashaad Penny the Hawks rookie 1st round pick does behind that new Oline. A lot of pundits questioned this pick in round one? Seattle didn't have a 2nd round pick and the next pick was a late 3rd.

Keep crying about the present.
You're better off in the distant past.
Safer for you.

He will be a Jet

Insane amount of cap space, a QB who will be entering his first starting season, and a gaping hole at RB

Makes too much sense

Isn't that special
Are you one of @handicappers dancing monkeys he's always talking about????
How I love a good show, and the typical stuck on himself phuckadelphia fan.....priceless.

So it took you 52 years to get one.....
That means in 610 years you might catch the Best of the NFL......
We can do this forever Jr, and your only clinging to one........one.........

Take it from a Vikings fan when I say that breaking the bank on an RB is a big mistake. The Vikings handicapped their franchise for 6 years when they decided to pay Adrian Peterson his mega contract back in 2011. They put all of their eggs into the AP basket instead of investing that excess money spent on him back into a few O-line players with a focus of finding a franchise worthy QB instead of trying to find one that could work with AP.

Granted the Bell situation is slightly different. Bell has been much more multi-dimensional as a player than AP, so finding a QB that can work well with him shouldn't but as difficult in theory. That goes both ways though, as Bell has had a HOF QB handing/throwing him the ball and taking pressure off the running game his whole NFL career up to this point. Meanwhile, AP spent the vast majority of his career with QB's who were barely fit to be third stringers. Regardless, while Bell has certainly earned a nice payday, Pittsburgh would be much better off looking to a younger player in the draft or a less expensive free agent and saving than money while letting some other team overpay Bell. RB, even in the case of generational talents like Adrian Peterson, has proven to be a very foolish position to invest super heavily in for the past couple of decades in the NFL. That's just the reality of the situation.
