    we will have to pay AV at some point. with his size he may be looked at heavier than beachum. we can pay foster or beachum and AV. beachum brings more than foster to the table. beachum did get an increase this year so adding what we would have to pay foster could give him a nice total to stay. giving AV an increase and beachum an increase might still be cheaper than signing beachum and foster and then having to worry about AV later and fosters age down the line. :cool:

    If he tests the market, and hed be stupid not too, we will most likely lose him. Teams show time and again that they overpay.

    Maybe the injury will deter teams but hes shown he can hold down the most important position on the line. Prototypical size or not, he can man the position. A team doesn't have to break the bank on him and it will still be more than he will make at guard, unless we seriously overpay and we better not.

    yes he has and so has pouncey lol.. I know how much you love Pouncey.

    Bell is a great RB but he is not looking at big money now since he has not be able to stay on the field. Obviously through no fault of his own.

    I don't recall Bell playing QB enough to amass those passing yards.

    Bell UFA in 2017. Hammer out a deal in 2016.
    DeCastro UFA 2017 Sign in 2016.
    Brown UFA in 2018. Might be one of the biggest paydays for a WR. Can wait.
    Wheaton UFA 2017. Will get another year. Then gone.
    Beachum UFA 2016. Gone.

    Time to enjoy this season as Bobby said.
