Osweiler. All the Jets did was light money on fire. Houston had to light a 2nd round pick on fire to free themselves of Osweiler.Worse signing: Bell by Jets or Brock by Houston??

I giggledShit guy, Bell might not even be the worst Jets signing. Mosley has played less than Bell. Injured all last season + Covid opt out.
True but didn’t that save them on the cap hit front?Osweiler. All the Jets did was light money on fire. Houston had to light a 2nd round pick on fire to free themselves of Osweiler.
Not to go too deep into another board but this cracks me up:I love this one:

I take it all back. Fuck Anthony Barr we've got my dude Le'Veon Bell baby!!!!
QB: Sam Darnold.
RB: Le'Veon Bell.
Hell of an OFFENSIVE 1-2 punch!!! Jetttssss

Im on board. I'm all for moving forward into our future and not regurgitating the past at nausea.
Bell and Osweiler were equally useless, but the Texans probably would’ve been content to let Osweiler hold a clipboard if they were as bad as the Jets. They only moved the pick because they were a good team that didn’t want that much cap space tied up in a useless player.Osweiler. All the Jets did was light money on fire.

Not even sure Bell made a bad choice. He got paid. Now he can negotiate a new contract.Bell's contract dispute year might go down as one of the all-time worst career decisions.
I mean, I guess if his goal was to sign one contract, then he succeeded. But he went from one of the best RBs in the NFL to mediocre, cut by the worst team in the league, and probably signing for the league minimum.Not even sure Bell made a bad choice. He got paid.

Are we sure? He turned down a rumored 5/70 deal with Pittsburgh that had something north of $30M guaranteed. Then, he gave up his entire 2018 salary of almost $15M. I think he will have ended up worse off. Almost reminds me of the Nomar situation.Not even sure Bell made a bad choice. He got paid. Now he can negotiate a new contract.
He's only signing for the minimum for the remainder of the year, and at that only because the Jets owe him for this year and there is no reason to give them the offset.I mean, I guess if his goal was to sign one contract, then he succeeded. But he went from one of the best RBs in the NFL to mediocre, cut by the worst team in the league, and probably signing for the league minimum.
Sitting out a season during the prime of his career was disastrous for his actual playing abilities, apparently. He did get his $35 million, yes. But he gave up $14.5 million in the process, and now will be playing for peanuts.
NFL RBs have a short shelf life; most are past their prime by their 7th or 8th season. Bell is 28 years old and in his 7th season, not counting 2018. I think you have to assume he’d be the same diminished player today that he is now if he had played in 2018.I mean, I guess if his goal was to sign one contract, then he succeeded.

Bell is a bit unique in that he’s not an overly explosive player. He doesn’t get his yards in big chunks. His gift is his vision, and his ability to handle a huge volume of work. In 2017 he was an All-Pro and his longest rush was 27 yards.NFL RBs have a short shelf life; most are past their prime by their 7th or 8th season.

Why would he want that disaster when he's got things cooking with Jacobs?Gruden will be all over him.
I agree with a lot of this. If you give Bell a good zone blocking scheme where he can use his patience, he'll be succesful.Bell is a bit unique in that he’s not an overly explosive player.

I don’t think Bell will ever be All-Pro Le’Veon Bell again, but I think he can still be productive on a team with a good line that will give him the touches he needs.
He loves pass catching backs. Great 3rd down chess piece and have the best offensive line in the league.Why would he want that disaster when he's got things cooking with Jacobs?
The Ravens do not need a RB. Why would they bother with Bell and take up a roster space?My bet is he ends up on the Ravens. Their running game isn't nearly as potent as last season. Mark Ingram is a bit long in the tooth, and Bell's trademark patient running style might really work in the read-option offense. Texans, Cardinals, Bears, and the Chargers make sense as well.
Bell hasn't been a worthwhile running back in the NFL in 3 years. That is like 30 years in human age. And he's seemingly not a great clubhouse guy either.He loves pass catching backs. Great 3rd down chess piece and have the best offensive line in the league.
I don't think they'd let the immortal Gus Edwards block them from improving their run game, but yes it's not a perfect fit. That said, Ingram is 31, Dobbins is raw, and Edwards is a JAG. They're also not a team to shy away from a malcontent, like at all. Taking a closer look at their stats they are second in total rush yards, which is surprising to me because they haven't given an RB more than 11 carries in a single game this year and Lamar is running a bit less. Bell could also improve their passing game.The Ravens do not need a RB. Why would they bother with Bell and take up a roster space?
On your list, the Bears makes sense. That's about it. Why would any team pay for a malcontent when they have perfect good RBs?
The Gase rebound.I don't understand why any team would take this on.
Bell was phenomenal behind one of the best lines in the NFL. Most RBs can do that.He was last good in 2017. For an NFL RB that may as well be 2007.
There is no way the Ravens sign Bell. They have too many players in the RB room already. And Edwards may be JAG, but he is a 235 pound JAG that they like to pound people in the 4Q.I don't think they'd let the immortal Gus Edwards block them from improving their run game, but yes it's not a perfect fit.

Gus Edwards has one fourth-quarter run on the entire season. Ingram could easily take the role of 4qtr grinder.And Edwards may be JAG, but he is a 235 pound JAG that they like to pound people in the 4Q.
Well that can't be correct because according to this PBP - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202009130rav.htm#all_pbp - Edwards ran three times in the 4Q against CLE alone.Gus Edwards has one fourth-quarter run on the entire season. Ingram could easily take the role of 4qtr grinder.
And the Jets promptly hired them.More seriously, the amount of soft tissue injuries the Jets have had over the past 2 years is annoying, don't know if it is luck or staff or how Gase runs things. I assume we are doing something wrong. This happened to the Yankees about a decade ago and they fired the trainers (I think).
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30128510/new-york-jets-defensive-coordinator-gregg-williams-takes-veiled-shot-team-offenseThe tension is building within the New York Jets' organization.
On Friday, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams took a veiled shot at coach Adam Gase's offense, suggesting the defensive struggles aren't entirely the fault of the defense.
The 0-5 Jets, who face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, are allowing 32.2 points per game, worse than every team except the Dallas Cowboys.
"It's not a very good number -- and a lot of it's not all defensively," Williams said after Friday's practice. "It's points on the board and we've got to do a good job of that and how you do that is make them kick more field goals, got to do a better job in field-position-type things.
"As you see, the scoring is up in the league, but it still makes me sick," he said.
Seven words hung in the air: "A lot of it's not all defensively." When asked what he meant by that, Williams turned cryptic.
"You'd have to figure it out," he said, ending his video call with reporters.
The embattled Gase wasn't available to comment, as he already had spoken to reporters.
Isn’t this pretty much the same thing he did to Hue Jackson in Cleveland?Gregg Williams trying to get Gase fired and be installed as the new head coach

Co-signed.At this point, shouldn’t the thread title be: “For whom the Bell LOL’s?”
Yes. According to Greggg, he was interviewed dozens of times for coaching positions. Everyone wants him.Isn’t this pretty much the same thing he did to Hue Jackson in Cleveland?
I think the Pats could have used McLendon--a run-stuffing NT--with the injuries on the DL.I might end up playing for Jets this year
