The Philadelphia Eagles sign Mike Bell to a offer sheet
The Eagles have signed 26-year old RB Mike Bell to a 1-year, $1.7 million dollar offer sheet. The Saints will have seven days to decide whether to match it or not. Bell played in 13 games for the Saints last season in which he carried the ball 172 times for 654 yards (3.8 ypc) with 5 TD runs. He also caught 4 passes for 12 yards (3.0 avg) last season. Bell has now played in 37 games in his NFL career in which he has carried the ball 348 times for 1,376 yards (4.0 ypc) with 14 TD runs and he has also caught 26 passes for 191 yards (7.3 avg). I like what the Eagles are trying to do here as Bell would give them a solid inside runner to team with Lesean McCoy at tailback in 2010.
UPDATE: The Saints failed to match the offer the Eagles made to Mike Bell. This was a good move for the Eagles.
