I like Bell to kc...I think those opposed are overthinking things a bit. Although I love these guys, I'd prefer to pay Ford, Jones, & Bell > Houston, Berry, & Watson at this point. The latter three should all be approached regarding restructuring.

You’re a crazy person. The value for salary dollars just aren’t there. Bell is better than the Williams’ but that money needs spent in a billion other places.

You're not paying him Jamaal Charles money. Hell, you're not even paying him Justin Houston money. You'd be on the hook for a ****ing stupid amount of money. For a RB, the most oft-injured position and shortest career lifespan in all of ****ing football. ****. That. ****ing. Nonsense. |

Bell has already had off field issues, been suspended IIRC, and has had injury issues.
Just, no. |

I just think in today's game, paying a RB a shit ton of money, in a passing era, is just stupid. It's the position that traditionally gets hit the hardest, the most often, and the return on the investment/longevity is the worst of all positions in the sport. RB's grow on trees. I'd draft 1 or 2 every few years and just keep cycle going, and would never spend a 1st on one.
If you have a good OL, your RB can be average and you can get by with really good results. Pay/keep your fatties, they last longer (unless youre Mitch Morse)

Bell has WR skills as well though...that's where his value would be in this offense, a guy who is a threat as RB but creates mismatches in the pass game.
With how the NFL is now I think the smartest thing to do may be to go all offense and then draft defense and keep replacing them with cheap guys other than maybe a real star you find. |

Seems our current starting RB is fine and suits the team. Use bell money elsewhere.

Some interesting stuff here, but that front 7 would be an unmitigated disaster which our offense and maybe even improved secondary play wouldn't overcome.
It's fun to speculate on Bell, but that amount of $ simply has to go on defense. Doesn't matter if it's Earl Thomas, Grady Jarrett, Landon Collins or whoever else escapes the franchise tag. We saw the impact of having a good/great player replacing a trash can in just one half vs the Chargers. And then again by not having that in the 2nd half. |

I understand I'd be paying Bell Sammy Watkins'esque money. I was alright with paying Sammy because with him on the field no single receiver can be doubled without leaving Mahomes with a mismatch elsewhere. However, I'd argue that signing the leagues top RB with WR skill sets would be of greater benefit than paying Watkins. |
