    Right now 7+.... will probably drop to 4-6 depending on where he lands...
  • GuinnessIsGoodForYouGuinnessIsGoodForYou Posts: 8,180
    I definitely put him in 7+. Just off the top of my head, I could see him anywhere around 11-15.

    7+ I agree it depends where he lands. If he was to sign with the Colts for example, with that offensive line.. I put him 4-6 but could flirt with top 3.

    Colts would be a scary team with L. Bell

    It’s too hard to say without knowing his landing spot.... he could flirt with any of those numbers. I agree that the Colts could push him into the 1-5 range overall. Or, crazy world, the Chiefs bring him in to replace Hunt, I’d consider him #1 overall in that scenario (strongly doubt that happens though).

    I traded him away. Kind of on my "do not draft" list. But I guess if he signs a long-term contract he could go back to being top 5-10 for sure, if not better.

    I have him in the 7 spot. Depending on the landing spot could move up to top 5.

    I didn't even consider Chiefs... that would be a wet dream as well as him signing with the Colts. I don't know the Chiefs salary cap numbers off hand. I know the Colts have north of 110 million and the most in NFL

    Agree with Bell skyrocketing to the top if he lands with the Chiefs, never thought of him going to KC either...
  • BashmanBashman Posts: 266
    Top 1-3 with Indy or KC; Top 4-6 with a team like Houston or TB; 7+ with a team like NYJ or Oakland...Landing spot is everything. As much as I'd love to see him sign with a team like Indy, I expect the NYJ to offer Bell the most money.

    Interesting....


    Le'Veon Bell RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
    According to the New York Daily News' Manish Mehta, "word on the street" is Le'Veon Bell ballooned to 260 pounds during his year away from football.

    Bell's listed playing weight is 225. Bell had some body composition issues as a rookie but totally morphed himself ahead of Year 2 and has had no conditioning worries ever since. However, taking a year away from the game, partying in Miami, and not having to practice likely didn't do him any good. Odds are Bell has slimmed back down by now as he looks for a monster payday in free agency, but he's got some buyer beware marks against him. Bell is said to be looking for $48 million over the first three years of any contract he signs this offseason.

    Le'Veon Bell RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
    Le'Veon Bell's trainer called reports that claimed Bell was 260 pounds "laughable."

    His trainer was adamant that Bell remains in elite shape and pointed to his freshness as a positive over other impending free agent running backs. While that's true, some teams will be skeptical about signing a player who sat out one of his prime years, especially since Bell had a weight issue going into the NFL. Likely close to his 225 playing weight, Bell is said to be eyeing $48 million over the first three years of his next contract.

    Took a year off his prime years, one way or another he’s gonna regret that. All for probably an extra year of guaranteed money. He’s gonna learn the hard way just how poorly RBs are viewed in the NFL.

    Meh - he may have extended his career by 2-3 years because of that 1 full season recovery period.

    I tend to agree. He was getting used at an alarming rate in PIT and they would have done it again had he signed the franchise tender. I think taking a year to reset and not get abused was a good thing for him physically and will, as Guinness said, extend his career. That said, I don't think he's going to get the payday he's looking for..... it will be a large deal but not the numbers he's trying to get.
  • HellAtlanticHellAtlantic Posts: 732
    So Gurley has the same usage rate and is younger but somehow he’s gonna bust but not an older RB who hasn’t played in a year?? Lol

    I concur, the year off to recover may extend his legs and have given him some recovery time.... Bell had a huge work load, the same stuff the @Smitty is saying now about Gurley, and a full year off from taking hits, not recovering fully from the deep muscle bruised and slight ankle twists and knee twists that have to happen every single week - well tha'ts gotta be something to look at IMO
