That is the only way my wife knows anyone that plays in the NFL. Great Bridge for the NFL for those non sports loving wives out there. She will actively root for someone that was on Dancing with the stars if she hears there name during a game I am watching.

When you're the ONLY guy who says he won't play for a Super Bowl coach, maybe the problem is YOU.

I'll go so far as to say great for fantasy football on the Steelers, horribly overrated as a running back during his heyday. He was nothing without that line.
Would suck to be his dance partner knowing if you don't make him look great it's on you.

Traded him for Travis Kelce and Danny dimes, when bell signed with the Jets.
Owner was rb starved and making a run at the title so I got paid big time.

I am in no way sticking up for Bell here but being "Baby Mama #6: doesn't say a whole lot for her character either.

Nick Cannon fathered four children with three different women...in the last twelve months.

Apparently Nick's anti-Semitic comments from last year are a distant memory, as he is about to get his own talk show.Google says 7 kids, 4 in the last year...

Think of an old fashioned cash register when you read these stories, the kind with a large pull lever. There’s only one price button on our hypothetical register. It’s $10K per month per baby momma.Nick Cannon fathered four children with three different women...in the last twelve months.
It’s why so many young men walk away from the game broke.
($10K is the average…varies by state but for most child support formulas it’s 15-17% of income. many districts have what is called the “three pony rule” to cap the support…soft rule but it’s basically “every child deserves a pony if the parents can afford it - even two ponies so they can ride with a friend. but no child needs three ponies.”)
Soure: I was a Big 4 CPA w/ scores of pro athlete clients. Sad but super common.

Bell is a cautionary tale of how important a player's situation is. Bell is a talented player with questionable motivation/disciple. You put him in a well run organization with a scheme that caters to his strengths and you get a yearly top 5 back. You put him in the dumpster fire that is the Jets, playing in Adam Gase scheme and it basically ends his career.
I'm not saying Bell is not responsible for his current unemployment but I always like to remember which organizations can get productivity out of these types of players and which clearly cannot.

This is really intriguing. If he gets signed I think the Balt organization can make him walk the line so to speak. May have some value if he has any gas left

Of RB's with 300+ total carries since 2018, Bell ranks 37th out of 38 backs with a 3.41 ypc. Only Peyton Barber was worse (3.32). The bottom 10 of the list has some other notable names . . .
29 Jamaal Williams 4.12
30 Adrian Peterson 4.12
31 Carlos Hyde 4.01
32 David Montgomery 4.01
33 David Johnson 3.96
34 Leonard Fournette 3.96
35 Frank Gorer 3.88
36 Jordan Howard 3.76
37 LeVeon Bell 3.41
38 Peyton Barber 3.32
Maybe the Ravens have some fountain of youth potion that Bell could drink.

Practice squad is interesting. Maybe they need to get him studied up on the offense?

If they put him on the active roster, they guarantee his salary. If they wait until next week, no guarantee.
Sam Quentin

He will be a good candidate for promotion after week 1
ditto for Duke Johnson and the JAgs

So is this like an extended audition? Presumably they’ll have to add him to the active roster to play him on MNF, no?
-jb-
Footballguy
A. I believe it's after the league's week one, so that includes MNF.
2. It could be an audition but they are HURTING for depth. Maybe gives them time to work out others (LatM?)
D. No way he would be ready to play by Monday anyway.

I believe the process is teams will have to finalize their initial 53-man roster by 4 pm the day before their first game. They can then reshuffle practice squad players and inactives on game day, which will have no bearing on if their contracts become guaranteed for the season. IIRC, that is derived from the names on the official roster from the day before.
There’s been some griping from veterans that are on practice squads, as they will end up playing Week 1 but they won’t have guaranteed contracts. Those players can then be offered contracts on the main roster for Week 2.

After Hill got hurt, the HAD to sign somebody.
you can’t go into a 16 game season with only two RBs on the whole roster.
Bell will be a third stringer stop gap option.

I was close. The actual procedure is players are officially considered as on the active roster each Tuesday at 3:00 for the forthcoming week. Which this week would guarantee the contracts for all players for the entire season.
I just don't see Bell's style as a good fit for the Baltimore offense. I think too much dancing is not good for Lamar and ball fakes and option reads. I think Gus and Ty'son are much better suited for the offense. I would even prefer Latavius over Bell at this point. Seems like a weird signing that won't last long to me.

I agree and it seems like his fit with the team just as a 3rd down back since the other 2 backs don't really profile as pass catchers. That role with the Ravens isn't very interesting for fantasy.

No one in my league did. I too just ignored it but now I just grabbed him. My league mates are playing it off like he's done but I think the Edwards owner is faking that he doesn't care.

I don't think Bell has much left either but Baltimore needs someone to run the ball and the way they are going through them Bell could certainly be starting.
