Saints' Mike Bell to pay a visit to the Seahawks today

03-08-2010, 10:59 AM

The New Orleans Saints have already lost one player in free agency this season as Scott Fujita signed with the Browns, but could another be on his way out shortly?

Running back Mike Bell is a restricted free agent that was offered a one-year tender by the Saints at the lowest level. He now has a visit scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday.

Any offer made to Bell by the Seahawks or any team can be matched by the Saints first if they so choose.
But...

Not happening. LT will not be a Saint. They very well could let Bell go, but they will hand over the power RB position to Lynell Hamilton.

I just don't see it happening. Maybe we let bell go, but I really don't see LT in our equation. Especially the way hamilton was used late in the season. Just my .02

+1

I am ok with Bell leaving.
Guy just seems a little "off" somehow.
It is Hamilton's turn.

What is his tender? I saw where it said "lowest tender". Are we talking a 7th?

stockman311 · 03-08-2010, 04:49 PM

No, we receive no draft pick compensation if he leaves. We do have the right to match the offer, but if it's more than $2MM per year you can say goodbye.

No - I will say goodbye now. I think SP is over him (have you seen him getting on to Bell after his "slip" at the goal line - for not wearing cleats??)

I could see LT coming OR I can see LH getting the call as well.
