I'm pretty sure the Chiefs wanted him in the offseason at a really low deal, so they may be interested.

If they'd do all that contractually for you, would you trade them a late rounder?

You're shitting me, right?

Why in the name of **** would he do that? He has $13.5 million coming to him next year. What do you intend to do to get a guy who SAT OUT the entire 2018 season to get his paper to decide to give that back?

C'mon man - this is just silly. Bell's not going to simply give the money back and there is no way in the world you can justify further spreading it out for a RB that's clearly in decline.

Once again - if the Jets want to extend him with a fake 5th season on that deal and call his 2020 salary a signing bonus that will accelerate onto their cap, then replace that 2020 salary with just enough of a carrot to get him to play hard the remainder of the year - then I'd listen and consider throwing a 5th their way.

But that contract is Frank Clark bad. There's no way anyone should voluntarily put that on their books.

Boy with Bell you're looking at a year and half and paying about 14 million for it.

It’s hilarious just how bad some teams are in this league. All of that money for Bell and now you’re looking to trade him?

The Lions should offer Slay to the Jets for Bell and some picks.

I mean, the seasons after 2020 don't really matter what he's supposed to make, once the guaranteed money is gone.

If the Jets would take on some of that somehow, I'd do it.

That contract structure is really terrible, guess they felt with all that cap room it didn't matter.

Bad teams stay bad. It's unreal.

Like what the hell is the point in some of these teams signing guys?

The Jets fired the guy that made all these signings...it's a weird situation.

Hell if the Jets can or will take on a lot of the GTD money, sure.

Probably.

Now ask why the Jets would do it? They only have $9 million in cap space right now. And you're talking about accelerating another $15 million onto it. So they'd have to clear $6 million more AND burn up that rollover.

All for the privilege of a 5th round pick?

And lets be realistic, they don't have anywhere near enough time to pull all that off. If that were under consideration, they'd have needed to have been discussing it for weeks.

Bell's a paycheck player - you aren't gonna get him to freely or easily **** with his money. So unless you make him an offer he can't refuse, you'll never get it all worked out by the deadline. And if you're willing to make him that offer he can't refuse, why the hell would you bother for a 3rd day pick?

They're stuck, IMO.

Adam Gase is pretty much guaranteed to **** over a team where ever he goes.

he honestly might be the perfect RB to help take some pressure off of Mahomes

@JFowlerESPN: Despite several teams looking for cornerback help, Falcons CB Desmond Trufant is not expected to be dealt as of now, per source.

And just an FYI....the guy who tweeted that shit apparently has never been right about anything.

He’d be a great player to have here but it doesn’t make much sense for us (Bell)
