It's true though that you never know what motivates someone... The Sabres just signed a top tie FA because he loves the coach and wants to be in a smaller city.

Or chase stats to get one last payday? Expand That makes some sense, but wouldn't he accomplish that as a key part of the Chiefs offense, for example?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 I still don’t get the chiefs. He won’t get the ball much. I think he is primarily interested in getting touches, not a ring.

aristocrat Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 if we signed him that's very concerning for moss. phins already have breida gaskin and howard so not sure where he fits in chiefs i think would be the favorite

Expand In that case, I think the Bills are the best choice of the 3. We have Singletary and really whoever after that. And we pas a lot, which affords Bell some more opportunities. 1
MJS Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Wow. What a disaster for the Jets. What's his dead cap for them?
Mat68 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 With Allens ability to play from the spread, Buffalo could utilize Bell like his Pittsburgh days. He would catch 50 to 75 passes a year. Ironically, I think he would be a perfect addition to the offense. 1
MAJBobby Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Man I really would like Bell. put him in Dabolls offense and what another Post Gase offensive player Flourish 1 2

Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Bell has been awful for the past 2 seasons. Why do people want him in Buffalo?

I think KC would probably be best for him personally. Reid and Bieniemy do a great job of utilizing their RBs, especially in the passing game. Granted CEH is already very good in that aspect, but I think Bell's best chance of proving himself to be effective again would be in KC. Miami is his best bet if he simply wants playing time. Gaskins has been pretty good for them but they still don't seem all that committed to him. Kind of a crowded backfield though with Gaskins, Howard, and Breida, but there's a chance Bell proves himself to be the #1 guy there whereas I don't think that's all that likely with Buffalo and it's impossible with KC. Added bonus that Bell loves Miami as a city and I don't think the Dolphins are a laughing stock like the Jets for example. Buffalo offers somewhat of a balance between Miami and KC. Probably in the middle in terms of potential playing time for Bell, he could help fill the 3rd down role in the very least with potential for more carries than what KC would likely provide. One concern in my mind is that Bell's patient running style generally relies on getting very good run blocking; our OLine hasn't really provided that this year. I do think Geoff Schwartz (who certainly knows a lot more about OLines than I do) believes Buffalo's blocking schemes fit Bell better than the other two.
stevestojan Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 What happened to the good old days when we would have someone stalking the flights in and out of Buffalo? 2

Howard was inactive for last game
Greg S Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 If he does sign here I would love to see him torch the Jets next week. It would be a huge FU to Gase and besides the Bills need the win. Also sweeping them is never a bad thing.

Rigotz Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Chiefs and Dolphins make way more sense than Bills. Maybe 2% chance he signs here.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Take away the name and history, and do we really think Bell is better than Yeldon right now? By the way: Yeldon is 6'1", 223; Bell is 6'1, 225; both are dual-threat backs with pass-catching ability. I'm not convinced Bell is an upgrade. 3 1
