"SAVED BY THE BELL" OR WILL THE DEFENSE "SCREECH"TO A HALT?

Last season when he took over was his best season. Sometimes getting benched will make players respond rather than being pi$$ed off and losing motivation. We'll see what we've got this year. Is anybody surprised we're not pushing for an extension?

He’s come along very, very nicely. Sadly though, I think we let him walk after this season. Gardner-Johnson will step in to replace him.

I see what you did there.

This!:bananajoy:
We've got a lot of second contracts coming up. We need to continue to build through the draft with Jeff Ireland leading the charge.

Bell has played on 2 teams that were one play from the SB. We need him.

In a broader sense, keeping around guys like MT, Kamara, Lattimore, Ramczyk, Rankins, etc means that the mid-level players will need to be replaced through the draft. Guys like Vonn Bell, Eli Apple, AJ Klein and David Onyemata could possibly all be allowed to leave in free agency. These drafts become crucial now to replace the guys we can’t pay to keep our superstars down the road.
