I still think they have one of the worst FO in the league.

In a vacuum Bell is still a top 5 back and he probably will be for the next 3 years. I agree the system and talent on the Steelers has contributed to his success but I think we have a really good system as well. It will be interesting to see what happens with him. I'm not really on board now because we are still a year away. Maybe next year as a FA we think about it but I worry what that will do to the lockeroom with Mckinnon. Again only reason I think we should consider it is that we still have so much cap room and players coming off their contracts next couple of years.

Why? They constantly hit on value picks and have a solid drafting record. Their biggest issue was the HC stubbornly stcking with a DC that the league had long ago figured out.

We should offer them McKinnon and a 2nd rounder for Conner.

Pull the trigger and get Bell in the red and gold jersey. As I said before, send McKinnon on his way as I had real concerns earlier about him. Bell is a once in a lifetime type back and you make the trade. Just like the Mack trade, the longer this goes, the lower the draft pick because he's missing games. At least that's how I would do it. It is going to take some picks and a new contract. If you want to be in discussion for playoffs and SB, Bell is the answer as Jimmy G needs someone like this in the backfield.
Originally posted by evil:They have maintained not wanting to trade him so there is no trigger to even consider pulling.

Originally posted by Heroism:Yes, let's trade for Bell so he can hold out here.

There's that too. There is no reason to believe that he'd play any sooner with the 49ers than with Pittsburgh. Nobody can give him the big money, long term deal he craves right now.
Originally posted by NYniner85:I'm not sure but if Bell signs the tag knowing he's traded and the team that is trading for him could then rescind that tag with the idea of paying him LT money, no? That's the only way I could see him getting moved.
There would have to be a "arrangement" made between the new team and Bell's agent. It's highly unlikely something like that happens.
