Paying top dollar for a star running back can be a great move if they provide immense value to the offense. In the case of the New York Jets, former Steeler Le’Veon Bell certainly has the potential to revolutionize a unit led by second-year quarterback, Sam Darnold.
Providing the young signal caller with that type of weapon would make the offense 10x more efficient. It’s expected that the Jets will have over $100 million in salary-cap space, opening up a window of opportunity for them to put something special together in the near future. Adding the right pieces at the right time will be the challenge, or the better focus might be – allocating money towards positions of need.
