Valid points, but knowing what we know about the guy:
1) He won't sign for the minimum
2) He won't take a backup role
I could be wrong, but I feel these points are as valid as what the other 2 posters presented. It's not like the guy is worried about a SB run.

I don't remember all the details. I think he still get 3 mill but cutting him cleared a bunch of cap space. Not 100% sure

He was pretty quick to tweet that he wants to play immediately, and he knows there is no starter jobs out there. Maybe he wants to shed his reputation, maybe he does want a SB, maybe he wants to show he can play for his next contract, who knows what his thinking is. Either way I think he's going to sign somewhere fairly soon.

I think showcase for his next contract is his number 1 concern. CEH has been fine, but in that offense he is not lighting it up. I think Bell would be huge in KC.

That actually remains to be seen. My assumption is based on what he's shown up to this point which is factual in nature. That is a tweet from someone not Bell. Of course he would say something like this. He wants a payday.

He is a good RB but has shortcomings. Not going to overpower anyone and has been below average in short yardage and go alone situations. Great between the 20s but Bell would be a good compliment that offers a little power in situations that require it.
I thought any money paid by his new team would be offset from what the Jets owe him. which means unless he gets more than 8 million this year he can sign for the minimum and not lose anything.

Barnwell doesn't even list New England as a possible landing spot, which leaves me confused.
He's got Chicago, KC, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and San Francicso.
Interesting choices. I sure hope he doesn't go to SF or NE. That'd ruin the trade value of two of my RBs.

Idk maybe. But it’s been 3 years since Bell was dynamic and relevant in Pittsburgh. He’s not the same guy IMO.
I mean why play football at all. He made some AWESOME rap videos. Him and AB can form a band.

Mahomes and Bell started following each other on Twitter.

SF, SEA or TB would Be aggravating.

RoJo is the zombie RB2 in Dynasty. They keep tryna kill my boy & he just keeps churning along.
Mostert 5th round pick in redraft, looking likely to get more work moving forward.
KC sounds like the perfect landing spot.

That's why I was surprised he didn't put them there. I'm with @Deamonon this one; they're one of the more likely places he could land.

I had none interest in Bell - like DND in redraft.
But his owners may just hit the jackpot if he goes to KC. Lots of holes in that offense with Mahomes throwing it around.

There’s also the possibility that he goes there and sucks out loud.
or 3-way RBBC
But there’s a chance that something works out to give him 20 touches a week there. In which case BOOM.

He has always been a patient runner who waits for his blocking. It's a style that doesn't work well with a horrible offensive line. He was destined to fail with the Jets. I thought he passed the eye test last year but he was constantly having to avoid being tackled in the backfield. Hopefully, he is smart and takes less money to play for a team with great run blocking.

Most of the potential landing spots being discussed have terrible O-lines at the moment. Chiefs is certainly not good (looked terrible even in their first game and that was against Houston, who haven't been stout, and that was with Osemele, their best run blocker), and Bears are below average at opening holes as well. Miami has some potential but their O-line is very young and inexperienced.
Can't see him succeeding as anything but a third down back in any of those scenarios.

Is Bell still good? 2016 was the last time he was elite and that was four years ago (he put up numbers in 2017, but his YPC was way down). Granted, playing for the Jets can make anyone look bad, but I am not assuming he will go elsewhere and magically dominate again.

So true. I have Montgomery in 3 leagues as my 2/3 and am hoping Bell doesn't ruin what little value he has left.

Monty has just put up some numbers against the toughest defenses vs RB's. Between the volume and upcoming schedule, I really think he will be a top 15 RB moving forward if Bell does not crash this party.

He will ideally be paired up with an immobile quarterback since he is an elite pass blocker and great at catching dump off passes. Roethlisberger, Brady, Rivers, and Foles all fit the bill. I'd love to see him on the Colts because of their run blocking and Rivers loving to throw to his running backs. The Steelers might make the most sense since he has experience with Roethlisberger and the Steelers have an injury prone starting running back.

Florida has no state income tax, but is Miami a contender?

I get that the Jets aren't exactly the best place to play, but since 2017 (which includes his last year in PIT) . . .
- Of RB that had 500+ total rushing attempts, Bell ranks 23 out of 24 in YPC.
- Of RB that had 400+ total rushing attempts, Bell ranks 34 out of 35 in YPC.
- Of RB that had 300+ total rushing attempts, Bell ranks 43 out of 46 in YPC.
- Of RB that had 200+ total rushing attempts, Bell ranks 60 out of 67 in YPC.
- Of RB that had 100+ total rushing attempts, Bell ranks 83 out of 100 in YPC.
He can still haul in a bunch of dump off passes, but is he much more than a replacement level RB as a rusher at this stage of the game?

If Bell goes to any of these 3 teams is he an RB2? Asking because he was dropped this morning and wondering if he's worth any FAAB.

Go Anybody But Kansas City (CEH owner) or Pittsburgh (Conner owner) or Miami (Gaskin owner) or Buffalo (Moss owner) or LA Rams (Henderson owner)

Does this really make the Bills better? They currently rank 26th in YPC and 28th in rushing yards. Sure, it gives them a veteran and gives them a little more depth. If Bell couldn't do much running behind the Jets OL (NYJ are ranked 20th in YPC), would he do much better moving upstate?
