You don't need elite skill position players when you have dominant lines.

Is it mutually exclusive though? I don't know if it is.

I have convinced myself that we should sign him. We have the space. It keeps him from going to another AFC team and vaulting them past us. Just front-load it.

I would love to see how Reich uses Bell's skillset. Both Bell and Hines can play wr Having them on the field at the same time with this offensive line could provide matchup nightmares. You would hope that the Colts at least kick the tires.

It is not, but it is hard to maintain. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around paying a RB as much as he wants, when they take a lot of abuse and tend to drop off hard and quick. He is an amazing talent and would be an awesome tool in this offense, but RBs tend to get banged up at a high rate and just fall off hard. I prefer to stick with the RB by committee.

I stopped thinking of him as a RB. We would still have the committee though. Heck, we could run a 2 back RPO set if we wanted. We have so much money just sitting there. I feel like I am talking myself into it. I'm just in favor of doing whatever we need to get another SB.
