26CornerBlitz Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets figure to make a huge offseason push for the second consecutive year to try to sign the biggest star on the free agent market. But for the second consecutive year, it looks like that player may not want to sign with them. Running back Le'Veon Bell, who is expected to become a free agent on March 13, "has his eyes on" the Indianapolis Colts, according to a source familiar with Bell's plans. The source, who has spoken to Bell, said the free agent hasn't ruled out signing with the Jets or any team that pursues him, but the Colts, with quarterback Andrew Luck and perhaps more than $120 million in salary cap room, seem to be at the "top of his list." "He has his eyes on the Colts, no doubt about that," the source said. "He sees Luck and that offense and all that cap room and they're much closer than the Jets. He wants to go someplace he can win right away."
whatdrought Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 I wonder how Reich would view his situation. He would be a huge get for them if he can come back to his previous form. (Which I am somewhat doubtful about)
GETTOTHE50 Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 idc who he joins tbh. it would be pretty rad to see him in a bills uniform though
billspro Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 They have Mack, doubt they want the headache. I’m fine with him going to the Jets. He can focus on his rap career in New York. 1 1
DJB Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) As long he stays out of our division i could care less where he goes. Edited December 21, 2018 by DJB
Aussie Joe Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Been thinking for the last month or so that he would go to the Colts.. Might be Bills V Colts in the AFC Championship game next year..? 1

Let the Colts have him. No offense against you sir ! But i would rather draft one or two mid to late rounds and grind them. Allen doesn't check down to the RBs anyways. he runs looking for bigger play ( hope he learns to check down a bit more ) 1 2
BillsSB2020 Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 I don't really understand the acrimony against the youngster. It appears from the periphery that Pittsburgh was yanking him around with the franchised tag. He's still a fine player in my estimation. Andrew Luck is excellent at throwing to backs and TE's and I suspect he'd have a heck of alot of success in Indianapolis catching the pigskin out of the backfield. 1
Augie Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 How long is his next suspension if he “pulls a Josh Gordon”? How much $$$ do you want to commit to that? Wasn’t that a large part of the Steelers reservations?
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 He'll end up with the Jets or maybe KC if they can free up cap space. Both have greater RB needs. I could see Oakland and San Francisco in the mix too, along with the Colts if they are not 100% happy with Mack. If his price comes down to reality, I'd love to see the Bills take a shot.
aristocrat Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 If he puts up 2000 yards or close he’s worth it

Saint Doug Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 If I’m the Colts, I just lowered the amount of guaranteed money in any offer by $10M.
Boca BIlls Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Steelers proved RBs are a dime a dozen... sorry Bell.
Steptide Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I know the guy is good, but if I'm a coach and I see what he did with the steelers, no thanks. And there's no way McDermott's gonna sign a me first guy. Half our team is making NFL minimum wage
