We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

except, no. Bell would not put up numbers in this offense. That's not how our line blocks, it's designed for quickness and misdirection. We don't play the sort of offense that compliments his style. Bell literally would sit on the bench behind Damien Williams and in this offense that would be the right decision.
He does not fit the offensive scheme at all. [Reply]

Sources tell me the Cincinnati Bengals are hoping to trade receiver John Ross and will field offers during the combine. We'll have more tonight during our podcast.

Truth. It really is a whole different thing blocking for Bell. Your OL has to be extremely stout to hold the LOS for an extended period of time. [Reply]

Man that's depressing that we don't have that. [Reply]

Hunt must have been supremely talented, then. [Reply]
Wow. I can't believe there are multiple posters that think Andy Reid couldn't make use of LeVeon Bell. We'd never pay the dude what he wants, but IF he was on our team he'd be an absolute monster. [Reply]
I’m not saying that Bell couldn’t or wouldn’t produce here under Andy but he wouldn’t produce up to his cost level. The value just isn’t there.
Then again, I don’t know if any RB is worth $10M+ per year at this point. Even a guy like Gurley who is insanely productive is starting to have knee issues. [Reply]
Never give a RB a second contract in today’s nfl, with very very rare exceptions. Guys that sit out entire years over greed don’t get included in that. Guys with injury histories and sit out whole seasons over contract disputes don’t apply. [Reply]
