Would you trade Bell & Conner for Kamara ?

Yes.

I still think there’s a good chance bell gets traded, in which case they could both equal kamara’s output. On the flip, they could split carries the rest of the way making both less valuable. It’s a tough one but in a vacuum, i’d rather have bell and Conner.

Agree to trade, but agree that it happens after Sunday.

then you get kamara on a bye

I get that part. I'm asking if you'd still make trade if it meant handicapping your team for the current week. I guess that's also a wash considering Pitt is on bye week 7

bell isnt getting traded. take the 1 player in kamara

Just remember that bell is reporting before the trade deadline. He could continue to hold our until the 2nd wk of November and still sign his franchise contract. Why would he hold out this long only to give in a few weeks early unless it’s to work a deal before oct 30th (trade deadline). Also, if the Steelers don’t trade him, he walks after this year and they get nothing for him. It’s hard to imagine that a player of Bells caliber couldn’t fetch a 3rd or 4th rd draft pick which is way under value for the Steelers but it’s better than nothing.

Full disclosure, I’m a Conner owner with high hopes of winning my league if he can maintain RB1 status.

When Bell does come back, it's gonna be a huge headache that I'm not looking forward to.

why? Bell comes back, he's taking full control. Connor goes to 5 touches a game, if he's lucky.

That's my hope, but how long will it take to get Bell into game shape? How many snaps does he really wanna play every game? Is it really that crazy to think that he may be asking out of the game more often than he did before?

game 1, 2016
18/144 & 5/34

game 1, 2017 (only bad opener)
10/32 & 3/15

I hope he's in the same shape as he was before those seasons. Seems to be doing a lot of other stuff on the side. He says he's been working out twice a day. We'll find out soon enough. I'm just a little nervous I suppose about exactly how this thing is gonna play out.
