N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 A structure similar to Trenton Brown's agreement would certainly work.... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/oakland-raiders/trenton-brown-16970/ 1

LVGrown Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 With a shortage of WR's in FA, would having Bell, McCoy and Gore all on the team make up for that while we groom a rookie WR or 2 this season? Give the o-line a year to gel and draft another top WR next season? I'm throwing "stuff" at the wall. I actually like the thought of Bell being in Buf and all three on the field at the same time with Foster and CFL.

More than likely if we sign bell then we are trading or cutting Shady but imagine what having Shady and Bell would do if they had multiple formations of being on the field at the same time Expand Remember that time when we were supposed to have a two headed monster in the backfield of Willis McGahee and Travis Henry? And another time with Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson? And another time with Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller. All of these worked out great.

HiddenInLight Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I doubt they sign bell but if they do I could see them seeing if philly is interested in swapping shady for agholor. There were rumors that they were looking to offload him yesterday. Then you cut ivory and draft a developmental guy to be our third stringer late or grab a udfa.

The released their RB a few weeks ago and they have money to sign him. Expand IMO, reading the tea leaves, the six teams mentioned are those that submitted bonafide contract offers. Absent the cash, I think the strongest suitor of the six is Green Bay. Play on grass , with a non running QB, with no "name" running back to supplant or beat out in camp. Bell is not an easy player to evaluate. I'm very concerned about the reports he's significantly heavier now than he's suppossed to be. (260lbs versus playing weight of 225)
100DollarBills Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Bell 70% carries McCoy 25% carries Gore 5% short yardage carries i wouldnt mind that at all. 1
HappyDays Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I'd be okay with a 3 year deal. I'd rather not put a bunch of future cap space into a RB and eventually we need to get younger at the position.

Which again might be as simple as Bell and his agent recognizing that Buffalo has a lot of cap space so they want to project the idea that they're interested in Buffalo.
