The rumors would fly and be warranted, but with that much of a cap hit to a RB, we need OL, DL, DB, possibly sign a QB to a big contract. I’d much prefer a Mark Ingram at a way cheaper deal.

deuces22wild Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Our first two picks should start and maybe our first three so cross at least two of OL, DL, DB off the needs list. I like Ingram but he is a better version of Barber. Same back not sure it would be that much of an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m cool with going a different direction that Ingram, but $15M+ or whatever for Bell is just dumb. We had the 3rd best statistical offense this season and with our fantastic defense won 5 games. Cut the dead weight that doesn’t create dead cap and go after the CJ Mosley’s, Clowney’s, Landon Collins’ etc out there. Defense holds teams to 20 and we are looking at playoffs next season. Control the LOS and build the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggybucsfan31 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm not saying I want Bell all that much, but I mean, we can get the cap room for Bell pretty easily by just losing Jackson and McCoy. That's $23 million right there. Then add in guys likely on the chopping block like Curry, Unrein one of Gholston/Allen, possibly Brate etc. and it becomes less of a squeeze.

Clooney should be a target regardless of whether we run 3-4 or 4-3. He's a fit in either... Coming out, most thought he'd be better as a true 4-3 DE...

ravishingone Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The Bell situation is fascinating. A borderline MVP of the league, who will be 27 when the season starts. This is very simplistic, but why Ian t worth being on the hook for Bell at 15 million per year for 2 years? If he plays well, certainly they will keep him longer. I don t want to beat the D Smith debate much more. However, Smith s franchise number I believe will be around 14 million next season. So even if he improves, what is his ceiling? Borderline, All Pro. So to sign him long term is going to cost over 16 million per year. So 2 years of Bell or 3 yrs of Smith. I know this is very simplistic, not apple to oranges. I just don t buy the debate pay Smith because who is better. Donald Penn doesn't have a career until Pettitgout gets hurt. A coaching staff that just got fired and we all agree was justified, I can t just take their opinion that D Smith is the best option at LT and now he needs to be franchised. Don t know what happens, but not going after Bell because the team needs cap room to sign Smith is a tough decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces22wild Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If I had to choose I'd pick stacking the def side of the ball first but always have to take a look at elite talent like Bell. Quinn, Mathieu, Clowney, Ansah, Ford, Lawrence, Jarrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Would Donovan Smith be able to move inside to LG? I know a lot of people were projecting him there during the Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we are in the sweepstakes for him but damn id love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be Roger Saffold like at G but his effort sucks and the desire to finish plays lacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
