Update: Le'Veon Bell signs with NY Jets

[UOK]

Obscure, random twitter guy with loose internet-quality ties to WSCR says that Bears are signing Bell.

Bell signing for 4yrs 64mil 49 guaranteed to the Bears, but yeah....horrible, horrible sources.

[wab]

If true, that’s a lot of fucking money.

[Boris13c]

I find the prospect of landing Bell both seductive and troubling.

Kind of like chasing after one of the Kardashian sisters?

[G08]

I... isn't he one piss test away from being suspended for a year?

[Boris13c]

if not, pretty close to it

is there still a way for teams to be able to void player contracts if the player is a douche? or was that done away with at the last CBA?

[wab]

Per the Twitter, Bell has signed somewhere...but the team has not been disclosed.

[wab]

Fun fact: Bell and Howard have the same agent. I don’t know if that means anything, but I’d wager that if Bell does sign with the Bears, the Jets acquire Howard as a consolation prize.

I like it but I fucking hate this suspense.

[HurricaneBear]

If we sign Bell it is going to be very hard for me to be excited for this season. Dude is a douchebag

[southdakbearfan]

I actually think he has went long enough now that he may be out of the protocol.

[Bad Flanders]

So... is he a douchebag because he held out? I mean... Earl Thomas would've been SMART to hold out after what happened to him. And it's not like it was all peachy in Pitt... Brown wanted out also for a reason. There is a rot there that runs deep.

I wouldn't go to work if I could afford not to and I knew I was worth more than they were paying me. So, THAT part doesn't bother me one bit.

Or is there something else here? Did he hit a chick or act like a douche in some other capacity? I honestly don't know.

With Anthony Barr spurning the #Jets, they have some extra money. I’m told they’ve taken some of that money and made a last and final big offer to Le’Veon Bell. It’s decision time for the ex-#Steelers RB.

In a series of cryptic Tweets, LeVeon Bell offers hints through pals that he may be headed to the Ravens.

[UOK]

He's a Raven.

[G08]

He's a Raven.

That Gabajalamamadingdong tweet was from 2 days ago though.

Oh snap.

lmao best line this month


It would exciting but scary. I thought he had the 1 suspension for pot in the car with Blount? ( no pun intended lol )

He didnt have a ped suspension did he?

[southdakbearfan]

Missed test was the second.

[Umbali]

Ah ok.

I just went and looked at Ingrams stats for last 2 years and Bells (exluding last year)

The production is very similar. The one constant is a HOF QB keeping the D honest. We need that first and foremost. For the cheaper price I would pretty much prefer Ingram I think. Bell would handicap the hell out of our cap going forward.

[MoFugger]

You would think the Bears would have to have a deal in place for a Howard trade before they would announce they signed Bell.

[Umbali]

That is true. I could see us keeping Howard and drafting a RB and going with what we have. What if we are all talking about a big offensive signing and Pace is thinking of getting Suh to play next to Hicks for a year or two lol.

All this speculation is fun but pointless lol.

[UOK]

Rapaport indicates it’s between Jets and Ravens. NYJ offered most money, I guess.

ESPN's Dianna Russini said on NFL Live that "most GMs" around NFL believe offers to free agent Le'Veon Bell are "coming in around $11-12 million" per year, and that's obviously well short of what Bell wants.

[UOK]

Ravens are apparently finalizing a deal with Mark Ingram.

[Otis Day]

I assume that means no Bell?

[southdakbearfan]

I assume that means no Bell?

With Jackson they could be bringing back the wishbone triple option.

Among that haven't really been in it for ex-Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell: Bears, Colts, Ravens, Texans and Bills. Market's tough.

Only takes one, and as the price drops teams may re-enter. Right now, feeling is you might be able to get him at $11-12 million per.

is Bell ever gonna sign? lol jeez

So maybe Pace is trolling Tevin Coleman?

Davis, Coleman, and Cohen makes a pretty good looking backfield.

Deal Howard for added draft booty.

Bears could still pull the trigger if they wanted. I thought his price would come down to around 10ish. He’ll be signed tomorrow at the latest. I’m hoping it’s the bears. Bell would be the difference maker, No more sputtering out around the 25 yard line, we’d be getting TDs. Come on Pace, let’s go get that ring!
