I watched Bell play in Pittsburgh. He was a beast. A prototypical LBer. He was A constant havoc in the backfield, blowing plays up. However, injury problems have hampered his career. I think with Bell and the Chiefs it was just wrong timing. He wasn't the same after recovering from an injury. In addition to that, I think the Chiefs didn't utilize him properly. We asked him to be our "weakside linebacker" when it is clear cut he is not that kind of player.
I still think he is ok. But probably better off somewhere else. Bell is more of "right inside linebacker" in a 3-4 defense. Or, possibly a MLB. Im just gonna say if we do keep him, I wouldn't mind it, as long as we converted to a 3-4, and used him in the inside.
That's the only way I'd keep him. If we keep him, given his upcoming salary, and continously used him as our "weakside linebacker", count me as disappointed.
