If we're hypothesizing matches, I'll throw out Houston and Miami.
Miami paid Howard to sit, and traded for Breida to sit. They seem to like Gaskin, I doubt it. Don't think the Texans make a move like this in between GM's. If what you say about the contracts is true, all the more incentive for him to sit the year.

Depends on the language of the contract, and if offset stipulations were included or not. Seeing as the GM that signed him got fired for giving out awful contracts, I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't included.

Offset language is the cause of any rookie holdouts these days, some organizations insist on it and the agents fight against it.

Agreed. It would just be a weird move for a team that has multiple veterans riding the bench.

I wonder what his offset language is like. He might just sit out.

That was my thought. I am not convinced he plays again in 2020.

Speculation is he wants to play, despite indications that the offset language in his contract meaning that any salary he earns will then come out of his Jets money.

It does mean that he can sign for the minimum, which makes me think contender.

I'd say Indy would be a good fit. Or Baltimore. Maybe the Rams. Bills could use him, too.

Bears? We'll see. I'm not convinced he's signed immediately, if at all. All speculation at this point, but I am not convinced there are many contenders where he'd start. Bears seems like the only one where he'd be an upgrade on their starter. Unless he's added as a depth player somewhere. I think the Bears make the most sense. Even if Monty still gets some early down work, Bell is a big upgrade in the passing down role.

I don't think the Bears are all that realistic. Monty is not the problem there. If he goes there he'll end up with the same problems he has in new york with a bad oline. I don't think that's a smart move for someone who's trying to revive their career and prove they still have it.

It's not really about Monty. I mean, he's the definition of average, but they have an extreme lack of depth at the position, and are a playoff contending team. Bell is an upgrade on third downs at the least. It makes sense for the Bears. Ryan Nail should never be on the field (to make false starts). Bell most likely won't have a ton of options, and if a 4-1 team like the Bears makes an offer, it may be his best shot. It may be his only shot. There won't be many teams interested, IMO. It might take an injury, who knows.

Denver might be a good spot to rehab his value.

It really depends on the off set language and what's in it for him. Broncos are 1-4, and not sure Bell is someone they'd be interested in. I still think the Bears would make sense, but I'm also not convinced there will be a whole lot of interest, unless there are some more injuries, which are probable, but he may be out there a few weeks. It wouldn't surprise me.

My money is on chiefs or dolphins.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...
