Well, if we didn't trade for this one DE who shall remain nameless, we would have had some cash to pursue Bell. We'd also have a 1st round pick to spend on the offensive line. Or somewhere else. Or trade down. Or trade up.

We'd also have another 2nd round pick this year to spend on OL. Or somewhere else. Or trade down. Or trade up.

But instead we acquired a guy who seems really nice and says good things and works hard in training camp.

The jets beat writer said on Twitter the jets will eat salary and look to trade bell in the offseason

I’m guessing the chiefs end up being a bidder there. I hope it’s not a similar situation of the last few years where they tried to get him at the deadline, didn’t get it done then miss the guy in the playoffs where he could have helped

Of course he may actually be done and not be very good anymore anyway

OR maybe, like I've said a hundred ****ing times that Bell's style only works with a specific type of offensive line.

One that we do not, and will never under Andy Reid and in this offensive system ever have.

Bell is not a gamebreaker. He's a plodder, a 'wear you down' all game long type.

He needs a huge, mauling offensive line.

I don't know what some of you are watching when you watch football. Do you only look at yardage totals?

He’s also a great pass catcher and has great vision. A couple things andy Reid backs usually are

I’m always all about looking for the bright side with this team, but hell almighty... this straight off the couch rookie CB business is a real gut punch

Good grief our CB situation needs a complete overhaul

**** yeah...They aren't plug and play especially when the line sucks.
