It would be pretty cool to have Kyler Murray, Leveon Bell, Wilson, Stills and Grant all on the same team, but unrealistic.

If I were you guys, I'd go for Kareem Hunt.   He's younger than Bell, has more upside, and because of the DV situation, he will take a lot less money to get.   I'm actually hoping the same thing for my Bucs.

^Kareem Hunt will be interesting.  His video wasn't Ray Rice bad, but still pretty bad.  Court of public opinion is going to rip him all next year.

Word is, the NFL has completed their investigation and the news isn't all that bad.   He's looking at anywhere from a 3-6 game hiatus.  It really all depends on how he explains himself in front of the commish.

Hunt is a smart move, he is going to be relatively cheap for his potential due to the suspension.  And basically lets you start the season with 54 players.  Somebody is going to go on IR in the first 4 weeks.  Hunt takes his spot.  You get him in camp and preseason and as long as he stays in shape during the suspension you now have the freshest RB in the league. 

 Hunt strikes me as one of those guys that can stay clean if he is in prove it mode, but if you sign him to a multi year deal he will find a way to fuck up.  So sign him to a 2 year prove it deal, then let him walk in FA, collect the 3rd round compensatory pick and let him get booted out of the league off his new team.

No.  Miami is set at RB.

I wouldn't mind having Gore back for another year if a deal can be made. I read a while back that he wants another year in Miami if it's feasible.

NOOOOO!

I don't want any talented running back who's 26 or older on this team, at this point. Miami needs to lose 15 games next year, and Bell would:

1) Destroy salary cap flexibility
2) Help us win unnecessary games

I'm not saying Bell is the answer, but I don't think just Drake and Ballage are either...Drake is a playmaker, but lacks in the small things like blocking consistently.  Ballage didn't really show much, but he's still young.  I wouldn't mind bringing in someone to compete or drafting a 3rd RB late in the draft.

Kareem Hunt could be a really, really good get for most teams - depending on his legal situation. Regardless of how far they got, KC took a massive hit when they cut him, I would go so far to argue that was very possibly the difference between them making the Superbowl this year and falling one step short...

There would have to be close to 31 teams interested in his services next year if he gets his mess sorted out. I am not sure if there would be anything like that for Leveon Bell, his actions has pissed off way too many owners. Players too for that matter.
