This is nuts. Every other tweet is a different team is "close to signing Bell." His agent is definatley earning his paycheck.

Interesting.  Probably the most connected Bills beat writer throwing shade on national report not including Buffalo? Was he not the guy who released a quote from Beane saying he was out of the Brown sweepstakes? ???

He's throwing shade because of Rapoport's prior report that AB was going to the Bills.

I don't think he's saying it because Buffalo isn't mentioned. I think he's just making fun of a competitor.

Well,  I'm actually ok with it. The Jets have consistently thrown themselves into cap hell over the past few years, and that much for Bell is just stupid money. That would become an albatross for them as they try to A) sign Darnold to a long term contact and B) sign players to make Darnold competent.

 

I was considered a homer when I said that I liked the money we gave for Shady, and now that looks laughably small in comparison.

Maybe.  Just looking through my Blue and Red colored glasses.

Possible .  That being said, he's a Baltimore guy.

 

And he really laid the hammer on Rapaport for the AB thing.

I think Warrow could easily say Bill's are out...  When they are he would be one of the guys who would know.

Wow, there are just a ton of conflicting reports right now. Maybe Bell and his agent are just trolling at this point? I see tweets saying it's the Jets, then I see tweets saying the Jets are pulling back and it's the Ravens who have the best chance. Then you see LaCanfora saying he's being told the Ravens are out. What happened to the other four teams that Josina Anderson listed this morning? I bet the Bills have bowed out by now. They have a limit on how high they'll go for a contract and if the rumor of the Jets offering $20 million per year then I'm certain Beane said adios.

The overall number is meaningless for him Imo.  It's all about guaranteed money.  That's why he turned down Pittsburgh.

If this is true (and while JLC is pretty spotty in general, he is connected in the DMV area), either the Jets are getting played or someone else is negotiating with Bell and wants it to be kept quiet.

Or maybe the jests are negotiating against themselves and every time bell stalls they up the offer, so he continues to stall.
