Chuck Wagon Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Just now, TheBeane said: I'm all for it! I was just thinking exactly this earlier this morning. Trade Shady for Aghlor and pick up Bell. We need a significant weapon on Offense right now and Bell can catch and run. Front load his contract and have a few escape clauses in the later years. Beane wants to have a big splash and struck out on AB. Could see this happening... or not. Could also see him just getting into the bidding to drive up the price. Take advantage of Allen's cheap deal. The FA market wasn't great to begin with and is drying up fast. 1
Mountain Man Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 This is the same source who claimed the Flowers interest. Call me cynical, but isn't it convenient to claim a team with a lot of cap space is interested......

I mean, this isn't 1960 But you have all the caps space. That was the saying leading up to this off season. Make it a 20MM cap hit this year and front load the hell out of the deal. 3 years in, you have an out, and can restructure if needed. 1

He’s a Buckeye reporter in Columbus. Bell is from Columbus and played in the Big 10. He gets a lot of coverage here. I didn’t see it, but he’s saying she reported it on TV.

CaptnCoke11 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I can see the Ravens shelling out everything they have now. Probably a little sour after losing Mosley 1

Nextmanup Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I've read here that our $$$ is as good as anyone else's so we shouldn't have any problems.

Conner looks like a very good RB, Bell is just better and will be an instant upgrade for most teams. 1
PetermansRedemption Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Given him is 15 million per year, structure it with 35 million guaranteed throughout the first two years. Easy out in year 3 if he isn’t performing. People forget we are paying McCoy 7 million this year. Bell is easily worth double what an old Shady is worth.
MJS Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Big risk. He sat out for a full year. He'll have to get brought back slowly to avoid injury. I'm sure Beane knows what he is doing.
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 I love the fit with Packers, personally, if I am him 2

So, I actually wouldn’t be horrified if something like this was done. Especially if the Bills got Williams also and drafted some receiving playmakers. Then got rid of Shady. 1
