Signing Bell to a long term contract might be the smart Move.  Why ? 
1 he has cleary improved , when healty he has shown to be above average , with a high ceiling  
2 injuries are part of football , Left tackles seem to miss several games a year.  
3 They will never be in a better bargining postion to lock him up long term . Left tackles cost big bucks , to get a good one at a reduced rate is a sweet thinga  
  4 bell, pears , hariston at tackle puts that position in the solid catagory for the next few years
