Have to agree with the deal. Mac hung tough, set a deadline and threw out a fair monetary deal to Bell. I'm not sure how much money is left in the FA pot but depending on what's there the Jet may not be done. On another note, I was looking at the top centers in the 2019 draft, the top two look like Elgton Jenkins Mississippi State and Erik McCoy Texas A&M. Both look like mid to high second rounders. There’s also the kid from NC State.

Wish he came with the Steelers OLine. $10M in escalators/incentives in his contract might keep him playing hard.

Good to hear. Bell makes me nervous but I love the deal Macca gave him. I too hope there are escalators but at least the guaranteed money is reasonable to the point that Bell cannot just mail it in. A healthy Bell (he's had lots of rest!) playing well adds a 3rd dimension to this team. Gase will have ALL the pieces he needs by the time the draft is over. No excuses - we're going to find out quickly if we have a real coach or not.

Good signing by the Jets but Bell really lost out in his holdout.

There's always the risk his flakiness will backfire on us, but we would have been killed for not taking this deal. For this reason, I am in.

he's probably learned his lesson. He'll do everything to earn every penny of the contract.

What a country we live in, sign for 50M and then say you'll attend OTAs and minicamp ... if you can.

Finally!!! The idiot GM does something rite. Actually he fell on that one been listening to WFAN they are saying nobody wanted him the Jets were the only bidders the rest were waiting for his price to drop. That's why the Jets got him cheaper then what he originally ask for.
