Adam Schefter just said on sportscenter that Ravens never had serious negotiations with Leveon Bell. No other team had serious conversations either.

Well if you wanted Bell Pace should have made it happen

This comment makes no sense. We are fans. It is FA. We will discuss guys we think the Bears should have gone after as that is the nature of FA and fan involvement.

If it's so obvious that we are better off with Bell than who we are signing and potential future constraints from signing Bell.. then why didnt Pace and the braintrust sign Bell for 13 mil per year. As I've said... I think its iffy at best. Def wasnt a no brainer.

If anyone honestly can look themselves in the mirror and say they wouldn't spend 12.5 million a year to significantly improve our SB chances with Bell then not sure what to say. Especially with Trubs on a rookie deal.

Ingram and Coleman should sign pretty quickly now. Sounding like Ravens will get Ingram and probably GB gets Coleman or whoever else that was in on Bell and/or Ingram will get Coleman.
Gb still has money ??

It’s no different than your comment. Which makes no sense to people who disagree.

I think it all depends on the guaranteed money. If he is getting less guaranteed money than what the Steelers offered on the contract last year, he overestimated his worth in the open market

The next running back’s salary is 9m.

That is actually a lot of money when compared to the position.

I guess Pace and everyone else whose Livelihoods are on the lines in Halas Hall are honestly looking in the mirror with different opinion.

No the difference is I am make a logical argument as to why I want Bell and why he could fit under the cap. You are getting pissy about it and saying, "well if you would have done it then Pace should of done it." That is not an argument or rebuttal to anything I said. It is just being a dick for no other purpose than you disagree.
