Bell's "use by" date has expired. His better days are behind him. I don't like the idea of choosing a rb in the 2nd round of this year's draft, but if it came down to that or getting Bell back - use the damn 2nd rounder!!! Fresh legs, younger, and a driven desire by a rookie > anything Bell could muster on this team. JMO
Just by the numbers, Having Bell back doesn't make sense. I'll do a quick article on it.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think Bell still has a future. He has a run style that isn't suited to every offensive line, but he is a tremendous receiving back, who can really block too. I think he will reemerge. Just not in Pittsburgh.
Agree he is more of a receiver than a giver. He still has time on the clock and as his QB improves so should his numbers..... but it is hard going to work knowing your boss doesn't really want you....whether that is true or not ..... it still hangs over you........ until the Jets get a decent WR corps and the QB develops ........Bell will be the scapegoat if they are still losing........ doubt he completes his contract with the Jets..... I could be wrong ........ time will tell
**** Bell, ran for the money (less money), threw people under the bus, glad he's stuck in NY sucking.
He had it made here.
He had it made here.
he did screw us.
dont you remember how the oline called him out?
lied to them, said he would be back?

again business. Ben has 2 years left. I would go any route possible to get a seventh ring including bring Bell back at the right price.
I'm with Blitz. It won't happen, but I think he would make the team better.

I don't know how LeVeon Bell makes the team better.
It's been shown over and over again that even Conner puts up better numbers than Bell has for the last few seasons. And Conner was hurt all last year. He STILL put up as good of numbers as Bell while both were on the field.
I'm sorry fellas. You are DEFINITELY remembering that hot girlfriend.

I agree with your second sentence, the more options the better.
But it will never happen because of your first sentence.
and.......she comes with too much extra baggage

Hit....
When can we expect that article you mentioned earlier Cope
I can think of 5 guys in the draft that I would rather spend fewer dollars on then bringing back Bell for the money he would command
JK Dobbins, J. Taylor, CEH, C. Akers, Z. Moss ..... I would add D. Swift but I think he will be long gone before 2nd 17
Based on what???
Personally, I wouldn't mind because of the opportunities to "open the offense up" multiple exponentially...
I wouldn't make a conscious effort to resign him though but if he's available in July, meh, sign him to a reasonable deal.

I think the return of Ben to form will have a greater affect on what the OFFENSE is than who we have coming out of the backfield.
You mentioned signing him to a reasonable deal. I am not sure what that would be. What would you consider reasonable Berm?
Bell totally bashed Ben on the way out the door, lied to his Oline, we just got rid of "Team Turmoil" why even attempt to bring that back?

I am not begging for it to happen, but if it does I understand it. Bell simply makes us a harder offense to defend. no one can argue that. Ben has 2 years left. I would welcome any chance to add a 7th ring in those 2 years. after he retires we are probably done for awhile.
He's no doubt a very good player, but when Ben has been healthy we've seen 3 RB's come through here that put up comparable numbers, DeAngelo, Bell, Conner so I think it's more about the QB and Oline than it is the RB. I'd think Kenyon Drake, Melvin Gordon, Matt Breida could be had for maybe less than Bell is making and without the baggage.
yes any of the 5 projected rnd 2 RB could do the same job or better Moss Dobbins Akers Swift CEH
taylor will be gone rnd 1 and with how heavy the draft is at QB and WR and OT several of these guys will slide to rnd 2. the guy I want the most is moss power back,rugged, dobbins is the all around 3 down back that can take it the distnce run via power and speed and catch.
So i pass on bringing bell back, you draft say moss or dobbins they share carries with conner snell is ur short yardage back and conner and samuals fight to be recieving back in the gun, or have both of them on the pony back back field 2 wr 1 te 2 RB

Pretty much agree with most of your ideas above.
There is one darkhorse RB probably available in the late rounds who already is used to wearing Black and Gold that intrigues me
Check out Darrynton Evans .....Appalachian State
4.41 speed 482 carries... no fumbles
How big is his head though?

they say you can fit 2 of his heads inside an old AB helmet (more commonly known as the "SCHUTT AIRHEAD ADVANTAGE").......if that helps

I'd rather eat a bucket of burnt hair than see them go that route.
