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

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.
