Which means teams are still
interested in his talents.

What teams are interested in his talents? I don’t think any are interested at anywhere near his now ludicrous price.

I think the Jets are interested in praying, and publicly pretending that they didn’t make a massive financial blunder, but that’s not the type of interest you are referring to.

But Gase just told Bell he's in their future plans? WTF.

Yea, he's in their future plans..... as trade bait.

Every team is interested.. at the right price. Problem is Bell's view is overvalued compared to most views.

Bell is under contract. It doesn’t matter what his view is.. the Jets view of him is 13 mill guaranteed next year.

same could be said for most starters in the league (interested for the right price).

Here's what happens when you over pay for a position that is easily replaceable. Look at the running backs that won the Super Bowl this year, last year and the previous two years.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports "all options are on the table" between Todd Gurley and the Rams.
Meaning, Gurley could be cut or traded following his perplexing, seemingly injury-marred 2019. ESPN's Lindsey Thiry made a "bold prediction" on Wednesday that Gurley could be traded. Rapoport reports coach Sean McVay wants to "sit down with Gurley before any decision is made." Such a conversation is often a prelude to the team moving on, but as Rapsheet points out, cutting Gurley would be close to a non-starter because of the cap ramifications. The move would leave behind a staggering $25.6 million in dead money. A trade would be difficult but not impossible. Gurley is due a $7.55 million roster bonus in March. The Rams, who have leveraged their roster to the hilt in recent years, are in a tough salary cap position with no easy solutions.

The only way I can see a team paying a rb big money is if they are on a rookie QB deal and I still have a hard time with that.

[feltdizz]

A year ago you were slobbering over the HC and now they can’t win because of the Gurley contract?

The Geoff contract is the real problem. That dude isn’t anything special.

[Oviedo]

Bell wanted to set the market...well he probably showed the league that it is a bad bet to give big money to a RB. Gurley just reinforces it. IMO...Dallas will regret the money they gave Elliott because once Prescott gets his big money they will be challenged to keep talent

Pretty sure they could’ve kept Geoff on a rookie contract another year.

He was the 111th highest cap hit in 2019. He will be number one next year. 36 million.

and he isn’t that good IMO.

but it’s more fun to blame the 14 mill Gurley will make next year as the reason this team won’t make the SB.

Trading away first round picks for Ramsey was also a great move.

Rams has their shot and missed.

it will be interesting to see if any NFL team throws big $$$ at Derrick Henry this offseason...

You don’t think these teams signing average QB’s to mega deals isn’t the real regret?

IMO signing Dak to a huge deal will be their mistake. Not Zeke.

Same with the Rams. $110 mill guaranteed for Goff but let’s blame the RB’s contract. Smh.

Look at us. We didn’t pay Bell. We paid Ben. Our QB’s suuuuuck and we can’t bring anyone else in because we are strapped for cash.

Tennessee is probably going to pay him a healthy contract.

Now if they pay Henry AND Tannehill watch how Henry gets blamed.

People on here need to remember most teams recognize they aren’t going to a SB every year and are trying to field a competitive team that give them a chance to make the playoffs.

We had Ben, Bell and brown for several years and didn't win squat.
If we paid, Bell what you wanted us too and paid brown what you wanted us to, we still wouldn't be able to bring in anyone or even keep Dupree.
