Free Agency: Free Agent Series: Should the Saints re-sign Mike Bell?

Saintswrath · 02-19-2010, 12:14 AM

Im up in the air about Bell now.. i mean not to be ungrateful or anything because he was a TRUE BEAST for us throughout the season but imo it'll have to come down to how much money he want and who we're willing to dump to keep him, after we get rid of grant, and a few other scrubs i'll have a better thought process on it, but for now, my thought on him being resigned is up in the air..
I didn't buy his Jersey because i felt he'd be one and done with us, and now that we have the Rings i don't see us making any strong efforts to keep stragglers.... He's been injury prone all season, he's getting old and his production started to lag toward the grind of the end of the season..
Perhaps if the coaches use him less throughout the regular season and get more out of him toward the end i might feel less reluctant to see him back in the black and gold.

Old for a TE...maybe not for a WR

I don't know. He was not performing at the end. Why? Injury? Something else? So I say wait on and see where we are headed.

If he's willing to take the veterans minimum, then re-sign him. If not, then thanks for teaching helping us during ther regular season and thanks for showing Reggie how to be physical. Hamilton is ready to take over Bell's role on this team... which was already diminishing towards the end of the year.

Like others have said, I thought Bell was the best thing since sliced bread in the beginning of the season. I wonder if he his decline in performance wasn't linked to his knee injury. If he could play at early season form he would definitely be a keeper.
