TBayXXXVII 2,144 Posted October 13, 2020 The team acquiring Bell would have to account for about $10M this year, plus a minimum of $28M over the next 2 season. The teams that can afford that are: Browns Cowboys Washington Jaguars Patriots Broncos Lions Eagles Dolphins I'd say that the teams in bold would be the ones who could use a RB and have the cap space. That said, I don't think the Pats or Dolphins would make the trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who would pay anything for Lev Bell halfway through 2020 at his contract? He is probably disinterested and slightly washed up. Its a competitive league. RBs dont mean much. There is a youngster that can do what he can at minimal price. No team really makes much sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,551 Posted October 14, 2020 Just now, Mike Isles said: Bills could of used him tonight Not really. I saw singletary get hit behind the line early and often. Similar to the Jets running game. In which Bell was ineffective. It isnt a video game. RBs cant just use superpowers and run over everyone. Bell doesnt have those powers anyway. It is why backups of real good running teams do well. RBs do not matter much. Everyone should realize this by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 14, 2020 Jets had to cut Bell because they are gonna sign Dak next year and needed to free up cap room LOLOLOL. Dak has had the BEST weapons around him in Dallas and couldn't make it work. Just imagine him moving to the Jets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted October 14, 2020 Judge Barrett weighed in on this, apparently Bell failed to state a claim on which relief can be granted, so it was time for him to go....../legal humor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Isles 583 Posted October 16, 2020 Bell signs with Chiefs. Are Jets on the hook for his 7 million since releasing him ? (Someone on sports radio said so. I didn’t think so - So I defer to you experts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 16, 2020 Chiefs signed him too fast. Bell was cut in my league but would not clear waivers until midnight tonite. I had a claim on him and was feeling really good about it but then he officially became a Chief so I'm sure he will be grabbed by someone else now. I also used my 1st round pick on Helaire. Yuk.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 16, 2020 7 minutes ago, Mike Isles said: So KC just inherited the contact ? I still don’t think that’s right. Could be wrong though No. You inherit the contract if you trade for him. Once he is cut, you can sign him for anything. In fact (I'm not sure which sport) but I think in some sports, if you sign someone after they are cut, part of all of the prior contract is voided. So sometimes a player will sit out and just collect the contract. There is a balance because if you sit for years collecting the old contract, your value drops.

wiffleball 4,655 Posted October 16, 2020 The Jets are responsible for the remaining $6 million on Bell's 2020 base pay, but there is an offset clause that will defray it by the amount of the salary on a new contract with the Chiefs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,655 Posted October 16, 2020 Chiefs will give him a paltry contract for a one-year deal. And the Jets are on the hook for the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
