Exactly...then why do it after the 5th game of the season?

Maybe it’s not for Bell. I’d love to see Shady back as well.

David Johnson’s name coming up

Wow!!

Important to note the restructured contract also freed up another $11.7 million for next year.. Howie has something in the works.. I have heard Johnson, bell and McCoy so far but Johnson is the hit rumor just don't know why AZ would give him up

One would have to believe some move is in the works. Hopefully it is the correct one.

They're rebuilding. If they can get an extra 2nd for him and get out of his contract extension Id say they probably would do it. With Bell, the Steelers want a draft pick AND a player plus the Eagles would have to pay him 9+M for the balance of this year. Pretty expensive for a player who is not guaranteed on re-signing with the Eagles after the season.

Yeah not interested in a Bell one year rental unless it’s pennies on the dollar. What week did we get AJ?

[Ellsworth]

I can’t see Bell. I could see Marshawn Lynch though if he’d be willing to come here. Oakland is shit and a pick would be of value.

I believe we (they) tried to get McCoy back on the cheap though. Probably tried leveraging his ex girlfriend robbery/assault to low ball buffalo. Likely told to F off.

I could see a deal happening next week or so after somebody decides to give up players for picks and rebuild. Marshawn Lynch may want to try for one more ring before hanging it up. That’s not happenignin oakland. Would he leave home for another shot? I hope so

[Ellsworth]

Why would anyone trade for bell if they’re not giving him huge extension? He won’t sell out for you. Why would he? I wouldn’t. Pay me first.

He would want to stay healthy for his next contract. Why risk serious injury for a rental team?

Look at Darby. He’s perfect example of self preservation looking towards his next 2019 deal.

Marshawn Lynch almost retired but came back just to play in Oakland.

[Ellsworth]

he did. but, they're losing and losing gets old fast.

making 1 last run at a ring might be higher on his priority list than finishing his last season in front of the hometown.

I'm going to make up my own rumor. Tevin Coleman is on a contract year and Ito Smith could still back up Devonta Freeman.
