RaidersAreOne Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 It sounds like the Steelers/Bell relationship is over. What are some suitors? And how much would teams be willing to give up? Update: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Isn't it true that Bell can't be signed to an extension right now due to the franchise tag, or is that just with the Steelers? I don't know about that rule and how it works, but I swear I saw something on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmad Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Why would anyone team trade assets for a guy they can't sign to an extension and has proven he cares more about $$ than playing? Bells just gonna walk in FA unless that team franchises him and we all know how that worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Crazy to think that a second round pick would be enough to get Bell considering the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Third and change, on the conservative side. Green Bay should get in on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 But I thought he wasn't going to be traded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 He's owed $12m on tag atm....i wouldn't think he would fetch a lot. 4th rder maybe. Minnesota should kick the tires on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Teams can give him more money on the 1-year tag than the $14.5 mil. They can't add years. The reason they would trade for him is guys on the tag can negotiate between the Super Bowl and the start of the new league year. That's about a 2 month window. So if you trade for him you are thinking that you have enough cap and sway to sign him long term. But given the way Bell has raised his price non-stop, I wouldn't want to trade for him if I were a GM. What's the guarantee that he wouldn't decide to change how much he wants after the season and decide our offer wasn't good enough. Bell strikes me as wanting to hit FA no matter what to get a big contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
