Could Le’Veon Bell reunite with Antonio Brown in Oakland? The Raiders are a sleeper team for the running back, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). Meanwhile, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com hears similar buzz as the Raiders are seeking to use their cap room on offensive firepower while bolstering the defense through the draft.
Many teams would like to add Bell to the backfield, but only certain clubs are expected to go into the $12MM+/year range for his services. The Raiders, who are desperate for an offensive spark, could be in a position to add another elite weapon days after adding Brown.
Meanwhile, the Jets are the favorites to sign Bell, in the estimation of Peter King of NBC Sports. Lately, we’ve been hearing that the Jets will focus their efforts on second-tier running backs, but it appears there’s been a shift of thinking in New Jersey. Armed with $100MM+ in cap space, the Jets certainly have the resources to add the ex-Steelers back. King can’t envision Bell joining the Colts, unless it was at a discount, and that seems unlikely given the money sacrificed by Bell in 2018. King also believes the Redskins and Dolphins will be in the mix.
Here we go again
This would be hilarious.. as in Steelers laughing at both of them.
So they trade away all their young stars to sign old ones?
Are you forgetting about all the draft picks they got? Also, I dont think 26 is all that old.
I hate to say this.. but this might actually work lol Gruden might actually pull this off
U guess you didn’t follow the raiders last year?
unless Carr really is THAT bad, Bell and Brown should make that team fairly decent offensively.
He is. He frequently missed completely wide open targets.
There’s no way the skins are in the mix for Bell. Not with Guice and CT on the roster, plus they’ve publicly stated they’re attempting to resign AP. On top of that they have less than $20mil in cap space, so that’s just poor reporting. More likely they use that money to sign Landon Collins after dropping DJ and Haha becoming a FA.
