McKinnon or Lewis
 
If they decide to pass on Bell to save money and spend it on defense, I bet they draft a RB high instead
 
I always liked Alfred Morris. Not sure how much he has left. Same with Jamaal Charles.
 
McKinnon is young and could start for us or split time with Conner. You might be able to get him for a lot less than $5 million per season, saving a ton of cash that could be spent on a top tier FS or ILB, or on 2 mid-tier FA's. That would absolutely make the TEAM better.

I like McKinnon a ton, but look at him more like a 2nd string back, 3rd down back et al. He'd make an awesome FA signing, he's a great all around football player. But not convinced he'd make a solid lead back.

On that end, I'd rather look at one of these guys, if somehow Bell ended up getting ****-canned off the roster.

Carlos Hyde RB 26 SF $920,420 UFA

Damien Williams RB 25 MIA $1,797,000 UFA

Orleans Darkwa RB 25 NYG $1,100,000 UFA

Jeremy Hill RB 25 CIN $938,401 UFA

All four of them would be somewhat risky reclamation projects. None of them have the track record DWill brought with him from Carolina, but all are younger and have more thread on their tires.

Carlos Hyde has had a real up and down career, Williams & Darwka have shown flashes of becoming good players, and Hill started with a bang and has been ho hum since his rookie year.

Only Hyde and McKinnon seem like big time signings. Lord knows what happens with Bell, but we could do worse than signing one - or both - of these RB's.

Most likely, our next lead back will come through the draft, but I hope Colbert at least kicks the tires on some of these FA's as well.

I don't know how you can eat that stuff, it's worse than Cuban food.
 
Pay Bell, but do NOT overpay. Offer him something like his agent wanted him to take last time (plus a little more). He should have taken it then, and he should take it now. If not **** him.

AND get a monster heavyweight fat *** RB who can line up and get 1 yard when we need it. And an OC that will call it.

Just take a look at that list!. The drop off after LeVeon Bell is immense! All I gotta say about Bell is PAY THE MAN! He's 25 yrs old........got three or four years of this kid being one of the NFL's best RB's in the league!
