As far as Bell goes, I was of the belief that it's stupid to spend big money on a 27 year old running back who hasn't played in well over a year (and wasn't necessarily a fit for the type of running the Bears like to do - but that was a far lesser con for me bc whatever you just figure it out) when RBs are very replaceable and the Bears are so good at drafting in the mid rounds, so I'm more than fine with it. It would've definitely been fun from a big signing glitz angle, though (and, you know, adding a very good player).
