Bearing in mind that there are no real quality WRs in this free agency class, the best pass rusher is likely to be Jadeveon Clowney (and even he might get franchised), and the Colts will have over $100 million in cap space, some of which must be spent.

When you consider those factors, Bell makes a lot of sense.

Ansah might hit the market. Lawrence will probably be resigned. Brandon Graham might be available. I hope we target Frank Clark of the Seahawks, if they don't franchise him.

I saw that the Bucs are up against the cap and could release Gerald McCoy. At 31 would guys be ok with signing him?

Earl Thomas should lead a good safety class. I don't know if we resign Geathers.

Also, read that Bell is on the Texans radar. Would guys be ok passing on him and seeing him sign with the Texans?


Upcoming free agent WR so far

You can look at RB's too easily enough

Keeping him out of the division is enough of a reason for me to be in favor of signing him.

It's definitely a reason to consider. He will be playing somewhere. Jets could be a target as well. I don't like the idea of him in the AFC, let alone our division. Him, Watson, and Hopkins would make a formidable trio.

The free agent wr class is ugly this year so I think it must be addressed early in the draft. Bringing in Bell mitigates the need somewhat because he’s such a good receiver. You can line him up wide, put him in the slot or just let him release from the backfield. He would serve as the most dangerous checkdown threat that Luck has ever had. Throw in his excellent blocking skills as well as his undeniable skill carrying the ball and I believe you must at least meet with the guy. I would go heavy on D throughout the draft with the exception of the aforementioned wr and continue to invest in line depth on both sides of the ball in free agency. Hopefully at least one more defensive starter can be found in free agency as well.

Hypothetically you have a choice between Bell and Antonio Brown, who do you take?

I'd take Brown. WR units needs much more help than the RBs

Bell, but only because Brown is a "me first" diva.

Neither.

Of the two, Bell, but “neither” is the best choice.

Neither is the smart choice. AB would be a disaster in this offense. He is pissed he is not the center of the universe in Pitt, how is he going to deal with the Colts offense. Fuck that guy.
