JLambert58 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 20 hours ago, 3rivers said: according to crapaport, the team would have to wait until seasons end to work on a legit deal, anything before that can't be signed and final . Who would risk and friendship agreement with Bell after all this? I can't see us getting a decent draft pick or a good player but stranger things have happened in the world of trades The other part to all of this is the time left before the trade deadline. If we make the trade, will it be so we can trade for ET for example? If we have the trade ready next week, can Bell still wait until week 10 to sign, essentially preventing the trade from happening ? I would expect teams that trade would want the player to arrive asap , but how does this all work? If Bell doesn't sign the tag before the trade deadline, that would kill it. I'm sure the Steelers would love to trade him for a 2019 3rd, tomorrow. Some team might be desperate enough to do that trade. Jets make sense because NY teams loving making big splash signings.

Would you consider Crowell if the Jets didn't want to trade a pick? What would the jets do with crowell once Bell is there anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the Jets (or anyone) trading for Bell and keeping their current RB1 but do you? I don't think bell plays in a game until later on, maybe week 10.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I know this is the Steeler way but its still kind of crazy to think he’s sitting out until Week 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never wanted them to sign him because I thought we needed help on D more than keeping Bell. They should trade him for a RD2 pick if offered but from what I have read , they are only considering a really good pick. Nice one again, so this will go on for a while yet because once again colbert is playing hardball here. Why not a trade Bell and Burns/dupree to Seattle for ET? Just get it over with before our D costs us a few more game , and asa result miss the playoffs? Sign ET to a deal right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign ET to a deal right away Because Bell isn't going to be able to sign a long term deal in Seattle and Friendship deals (seasons end) are written on toliet paper. If he's not playing for the Steelers and willing to sit, He's damn sure not playing for anyone else without a long term contract in place. He's not getting traded. Every potential trade will be voided by his camp. Only question now is, does he actually sit 10 gms or come back early, fake a injury and collect his check? Pittsburgh hoping for a trade is nothing more then a pipe dream at this point. That ship has sailed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I did have a long laugh at that snake in the grass James Harrison and his suggestion for Leveon. He really just wants to burn his legacy to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
