Where will Le'Veon Bell end up?

[ATL96Steeler]

Nice try.

He's averaging 3.7ypc for the season.

All it takes is one fool with a big bag of money. And we all know the NFL has a few of those.

All things equal though, a few years of him tormenting the Steelers twice a year almost seems like the end game. The Ravens could damn sure use him especially with Jackson as the starter next season.

BAL would definitely be an interesting stop for Bell, but not with Flacco $26 mil cap hit on the books. Assuming they end their contract with Flacco and take on his $16 mil dead money hit...even if they're able to spread it over '19 & '20...that's still a lot of cap space taken up...very doubtful they will be looking to add a contract on the level that Bell is looking for.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

i'll say either the Jets, or the Bucs

Those are the two I'm putting pretty high on the destination list....aside from PHI I do not see another contending type team that will try to take on Bell.

 

[Ricky Roma]

I'd say there's a good chance he's got a handshake deal already in place with somebody.

He'd also stay in the AFC North....


Interesting landing spot. Especially, if they went with Jackson at QB.....him and Bell would give them a potent running game.


Not sure if they could do it under the salary cap though.

You're probably rght on that. I wouldnt be shocked if he's the first "big name" to announce a new deal with a new team come March

Perhaps, but the Steelers will slap the transition tag on him if only to piss him off. I sure would.

Bell has been emotional and vindictive through this whole process so i'm sure he wants to play for cleveland, cincy, or baltimore if they will match any offers he gets

Cleveland and Cinci have their young RB in place. Maybe the Ravens?

it would be fun in theory but you really wouldn't if you were having to run the team ... tying up $20-25 million dollars in a RB for one season would hamstring your abilities to re-sign players, sign draft picks, and bring in FA's to field the best team you could in 2019 while your 'window' is still open with Ben under center.

makes sense

It’s whoever pays the most

Of course, but who do you project that to be? Jets have the need and the 2nd most cap space available. Colts have the most, and pairing Bell with Luck could be very interesting...

That’s not a bad possibility. I also heard someone say that the league may be colluding against him to “set an example”. The theory goes that if the league colluded against Kaepernick... why not Bell?

The proof will come next season once FA starts.

Indy would be nice if they don’t believe in Mack

When thinking of places he would thrive. Regardless of cap. And teams with rb troubles. I think he would kill it with the bears . And they some to
Not be sold on Howard and refuse to use Cohen. So bell would fill it all. Other than there I see huge regression for him

both of those teams may be options also

 

[RP-29]

Hopefully he ends up like Navin R Johnson in a bathtub rapping about picking out a thermos.......

I'd give you two "winner" ratings on that post if I could. Any "The Jerk" references get a "winner". Relating it to Le'Veon gets another.

I don't understand the deal with Cohen. I really thought he was going to blow up this year and be used as a matchup nightmare, similar to Tyreek Hill, or at least like the new Sproles.
