The #Jets are, in fact, trying to trade RB Le'Veon Bell, as @MMehtaNYDN reported. He has roughly $6M guaranteed remaining in salary this year. Trade deadline is three weeks from today.

And CEH is on pace for about 1100 right now. People don't really understand how this works. [Reply]

There aren't any available.
This is one of those deals where you have to consider taking what is available. [Reply]

They'd have to be available. Beggars can't really be choosers. [Reply]
Trade a 4th for Kelce, trade a 7th for Bell, sometimes get Travis to pretend to be a center but he's really the tight end and he throws the ball to himself and Mariota's our way to whatever Superbowl # we are at this year. [Reply]

I still think the line will be okay if we can just work on tinkering the offensive approach a little.
I'm not a Leveon Bell fan myself. However, at this point I simply don't care what they do. If they need to trade picks to get better, do it. If they think they can fix things in house, do it.
