I am thinking a third rounder or a late second rounder (if a draft was traded). Furthermore, there is no guaranteeing Bell's success in NY. The Jets have a line that is still in rebuilding mode. It wasn't that impressive during the preseason game against the Bucs. Broncos have a great line and any crap of an RB looks impressive behind them.

Im not too concerned about the transition out of Denver because Clinton Portis and Reuben Droughns both got their chance to shine in Denver and have both done well outside of there also. Maybe his YPC would go down a bit but he was averageing 5.3 per carry so even if it dropped to 4.5 it would be much better then what we're used to. Overall, id have to say it depends on the price. If a third rounder would get it done I would do it in a heartbeat as I think he would make a very solid back for us but im not so sure if I would be willing to spend a second round pick on the guy when we could have our choice of runningbacks in Next April's draft.
^^ i agree, if we get a 3rd for Bell straight up, or if we give one of our backs for Bell along with the pick, then its good. but not a 2nd
If it costs more than a 3rd, I'd rather roll with Houston, if it costs a 3rd, I'll be null on the deal, if it's a 4th or less I'll be happy with it.
