The no chance in hell of happening Leveon Bell dream thread

Bell turned down 14 mil a year. Wants 17 and plenty guarantees. Nobody in their right mind would make that deal.

Patriots cut Gillislee. Versatile back and probably a good fit.

This. And bring in De'Angelo Henderson as the #3 RB.

Yes agreed. I saw Henderson played game. He is pretty good well. I dont mind signed him now. Call him now

If you watch his running style he's probably not a good fit for the zone scheme

Just so you know. The Steelers since Munchak got there have run a ton of zone. This includes outside zone/stretch, inside zone, and split zone. Bell's elite vision and patience allows them to be multidimensional in their running game in switching between zone and gap principles, because they use a fair share of pulls as well. He is the kind of back that is a stud no matter what scheme you put him in.

I of course believe there is zero chance that Bell gets traded here this season though. The niners have plenty of money tied into their running back position. Even with the unfortunate injury to McKinnon, I don't see them bringing in Bell who wants to reset the running back market. It sucks we lost McKinnon because of the mismatch he created in the passing game but the Shanahans are the best of making beanstalks from beans in running backs. They will work the running game out imo.

Jets signed him to their PS.

Oh well! That suck! Lol

Trade for and pay a massive contract to Bell? Let's the flaming commence...

lol, no.

Were not gonna pay bell crazy money and on top of that have McKinnon making what he's making. This is the team we're rolling with

Rather trade for Coleman for a mid rd pick

We could potentially get out of McKinnon's contract after this season with only $1.5M dead cap...

Wait it out a little bit... make the Steelers sweat, then when the time strikes offer a 3rd round pick for him.

According to overthecap, he will count $6,000,000 in dead money in 2019.
