Soko Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 13 minutes ago, DannyB said: reports say he met with management this week or something, about his lack of role in the offense, and how Gase obviously never wanted him. Which is all well and good, I mean, I get it. If I'm a player I'd be unhappy as hell if I was on the Jets with Adam stupid Gase as my head coach. But again...HE CHOSE THIS. He had full knowledge going in. If he couldn't read the tea leaves that the Jets are, sorry, a trashcan organization, and this Gase dude is freaking terrible, well too bad so sad. If I was his agent I would have definitely warned him. Again, if he just wants the big payday, then fine, do you booboo, I'll happily take my commission and buy a nice little vacation spot for my family. But then he can't act blindsided that the situation sucks there. Going to speak to the team about (lack of) usage is different than crying, but to each their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emergence of Conner happened because Bell left. If Bell hadn't left, Conner wouldn't have taken over the #1 spot that easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it results in them trying to trade you, and then releasing you when that doesn't work, that seems like more than just an ordinary run of the mill professional conversation. Like that's not just a normal Monday evening for the average franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 26 minutes ago, ET80 said: Gonna say... Houston. Jack Easterby needs to do something to prove his worth and stick around/endear himself to a city who wants him fired. The Texans have David Johnson (who is flat out bad) and Duke Johnson (who isn't bad but isn't good) so Bell has opportunity to get snaps. BoBoddy is gone, Romeo is a bit more relaxed and relatable to a guy like Lev... Call it a hunch. Seriously doubt he'll go to a losing team if he has options.

The idea that Bell cried his way off the Jets insinuates that he was some type of issue in the locker room or carried with him a selfish mentality, which couldn't be further from the truth. I can say with the utmost confidence that anyone who's followed this team will tell you the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they released him then he signs the Jets deal AFTER Pittsburgh paid him a bunch for years 1 and 2 or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's not going to have many suitors - people remember the Steelers debacle, that's not going to sit well with some teams with stable organizations.

You may well be right. Colts are still my best guess, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
