Cleveland's running back who lost his starting job to Hillis after rushing for almost 900 yards last year in 14 games.

Looks like it's straight up for Mike Bell.

He is a big and strong uphill running back, the Eagles will use him in short yardage situation, he wasnt going to get many carries with Hillis getting the lions share of the snaps in Cleveland.
Mike Bell is a shifty 3rd down back, good trade for both teams

You serious?

Jerome Harrison is 5'-9" 205lbs. He was used exclusively on third downs and doesn't have the body to pound it like the Browns want.

Mike Bell is 6'-0" 225lbs. Bell doesn't have the hands and perimeter speed Andy Reid needed in his offense.

You've got them flipped.

Not at all. They traded for Mike Bell b/c he's more of a downhill runner than Harrison who is more of finesse back. With Hillis thigh injury they want a down hill runner to come in as his back up thus they traded for Mike Bell.

He fell out of favor, a chance for a new start. Back up duties and a chance to shine. Bell sucks.
