This. And bring in De'Angelo Henderson as the #3 RB.
Yes agreed. I saw Henderson played game. He is pretty good well. I dont mind signed him now. Call him now
Jets signed him to their PS.
Can be signed, but he has to go on the 53-man roster, right?

Originally posted by gold49digger:Originally posted by Ronnie49Lott:Le'Veon Bell trade rumors: 5 great fits for Steelers star
1. San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers are in the perfect position to be a great offensive team this season. Headed by Jimmy Garoppolo, who began the reversal of the Niners' misfortunes last season, San Francisco has a solid line and good group of receivers and could score a lot.
The player head coach Kyle Shanahan thought was perfect for this offense was Jerick McKinnon. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see that play out as McKinnon is out for the year. San Francisco will now have to rely on Matt Breida and Alfred Morris, who may offer uneven results throughout the season.
A steady, reliable option that would also fit the offense is Le'Veon Bell.
Bell, like in Tennessee, would be the final piece to this offense and could take it to the next level. His game would open up Garoppolo's and vice versa. It would be a match made in heaven.
San Francisco has filled some holes on the defensive end, too, allowing them to overspend on Bell if need be.
While the other four options are intriguing, San Francisco is the team I would like to see Bell on most. He could be the addition that firmly places the Niners in the Super Bowl discussion.

lol
The whole issue with this trade stuff is he can't get a new contract this yr. he's playing under the tag or he's not playing them the rules....so what SF trades for him and he magically decides to play
I wouldn't be shocked if Bell plays just enough games to accrue a season and be a FA.

If the ACL is gone for McKinnon, should 49ers have a convo with Pittsburgh regarding the availability of Le'Veon Bell? I would cut McKinnon but I'm ruthless...
Never liked the signing to begin with...
issue is Bell at this point can't get a new contract (past the deadline because he was tagged) all he can do is play under the tag for this yr which he currently isn't gonna do.
SO why would trading him change his mind he's gonna sit out just long enough to accrue a full NFL season and be a FA in 2019 (at least that's the only thing that makes sense).

Amid the events of yesterday involving the #Steelers and their star RB, worth noting: Pittsburgh won't be rescinding the franchise tag for Le'Veon Bell, I'm told. Obvious. But important. He'll play for the #Steelers this year, it's just a question of when.

Agree.
The whole "Trade Le'Veon to ____" discussion suspends reason and requires you to think Le'Veon would play as a rental on another team. His hold out has nothing to do with the team, it's about the money and reducing the wear on his body by not reporting early in the season.

Right Pitt would have to resend the tag and they already said they would not be doing that. Imo he will be sitting out for 10 games this yr.
Glad I didn't touch him in fantasy this yr

Much can change in the next 2 1/2 months. If Conner balls out and the Steelers are winning, they may consider changing their stance by week 10.

Why would Bell play for any other team unless a long term deal is in place? If he wanted to play under the tag he'd be with the Steelers right now.

I have him in fantasy, but also have Connor -- so I'm cool with his holdout. Really, you just need to get into the playoffs and then you get a fresh Lev Bell to crush it for the stretch run.
