If you want carries, don't sign with a team that likely has one of the only every-down backs in the league.

dudes one of my favorite RBs but no team will ever just let him put in work.

I have no idea why New England let him go after last year's playoffs.

Nobody offered him much

His $3.85M/2year deal from Pittsburgh was his best offer. New England offered about $2.4M total, iirc.

He took the money, simple as that. Same with Tate

For the minimum plus performance incentives. That's what I heard anyway.

2 year vet min

He gets at most $2.38M

His lack of usage in Pittsburgh was kind of baffling. Yes, Bell is phenomenal, but when you've got another back who can give you, say, 6 carries at the least, 15 at most...why not use him? Don't let Bell be an injury waiting to happen.
