We need Bell, and everyone know it...

[mr peeples]

I want him traded too. Would take a second from just about anyone but the Pats*. If they want him it's a 1st. I feel he would king make those ******* and I'd only he willing to do that for a one. My feelings are if not the Steelers anyone but the Pats*.

Pats don't need him; Michel is coming on strong.

People, people, people...you can't trade a player who is NOT under contract. Bell is NOT. Stop the madness.

I think at this point everyone knows Bell needs to sign first before a trade can happen. Well everyone but Coach That is.

LOL. But in reading message boards and listening to the media, some sure do not realize the above. I even heard some talking heads (people paid to comment) that
didn't realize you can't trade Bell as is, because he isn't signed, and peers had to correct the ill informed suit.

I said way back in April, we'd be better off to cut Bell outright, and draft a RB somewhere in the 1st three rounds. Bell has turned out to be a solid RB but we could use more
depth if we dumped Bell. I was advocating we draft Freeman, Chubb or Michel. I still really like all 3. And we still could have got Edwards in the 3rd if we wanted him.

He is referring to if he signs his tag before the deadline.

Slash, translating to MASShole lingo is sometimes hard as it will lose it's meaning.

Obviously he has to sign to be traded but Ajai is now out for the season and it's clearly the best option for him IMO. I thought it was going to get done today unless the Eagles are just going take a mulligan on the season.

Eagles cleared a bunch of cap space by restructuring Fletcher Cox today.

Interesting. They're the only real practical landing spot but LB needs to get to Steelers HQ to sign before anything is even a remote possibility.

Sorry not buying. The Pat's would never pass up a huge matchup problem for the other team. They are smart enough to put them both in the backfield and motion the best matchup out.

Bell can sign whenever he wants. I'd suspect that if the steelers got a trade that he liked, he'd report immediately to make it happen. Bell could not ask for a better situation than Philly. A contender with an offense perfectly suited for him.

And being an NFC team, our ****** run defense would hardly ever see him.

 

[Coach]

I see Bell traded once he signs. Count the Texans in as a contender as they have the cap space, and at 2-3 aren't out of it yet in wide open AFC South.

Apparently the Eagles are after David Johnson, not Bell. They did clear the space they needed by the Cox restructure to keep him for 2 years. He becomes as a team friendly cut in year 3. I hope it is a smoke screen because I want to get something for Bell.
