As soon as I heard Wilson was let go… I could almost see this coming. I am a HUGE Y.Bell fan…. actually was going to get his jersey made (if he ws re-signed)…. However, I totally agree Bell/Wilson are very similar… and you can’t go wrong with youth.

I wonder what the price tag is…

I just could not get to the office fast enough to post!!!!

This is great, Gibril at FS Bell at SS, thats a great combination. I know no one is going to believe me but the signings of Carey and Crowder, now Gibril, are what I would have done if I was in the FO.

Now, if money allows the Fins need to get Brown at Center, and things will look even better. Add on to that Bodden at CB and we are in business!!! (Do not think Bodden will be signed)

He’s pretty much out of the picture now but ill take Wilson over Hill and to re-sign bell takes care of our safety spots which kinda pushes Delmas out of the picture unless he falls far enough which I dont expect him to. So assuming we take care or Jason Brown and Wilson and now with crowder back I think our draft status is but back at the D-Line/ Linebacker position. We could say CB but I dont think there will be one that should be taken at 25 not to say they’re not good but that there are better players at other positions that could help out

considering what a mess the Raiders were last year, and the fact that asomugha kind of skewed the defense to one side. But it seems like an upgrade.

Two hard hitting fuckers in the backfield. NICE.

thats awesome, i didnt think we would go for him….this is sweet

Drew came on the Joe Rose show this morning and he confirmed the Phins are closer to a contract deal and have shown more interest in Bell than they are with Hill, so looks like Hill is the odd man out. Hopefully they can have both Wilson and Bell in the backfield this year.

you fill the RT , LB holes with players dedicated to this system and coaches….

you sign a quality player for the defensive backfield….when is the last time we did that? enough of the renaldo hill’s of the world….now we have a playmaker scanning the field.

signing Bell is the next priority and EVERYTHING i read says we are about to ink the contract..including from his agent. Bell and Wilson are physically exactly what we need at the safety spot. EXCELLENT WORK.

to me our needs are obvious now…NT and Center. I would bet money we use the 1st pick on either one of those (barring another signing).

fantastic stuff so far…i can almost feel this team getting BIGGER, STRONGER, AND FASTER.

jets suck

If I had to pick between the two I would have to go with Wilson I wanted this guy here as soon as I heard of his release.

THEY NEED TO SIGN BELL!!!!

That would be a serious improvement to the sec!!!!

Do you guys feel Goodman should stay or go? I say keep him. He improved tremendously towards the end. See what he does. What do you think>

No one’s ever complimented my singing before..

The Dolphins will likely go for the bargains, but when a solid opportunity like this comes along, they’re going to snap it up.

that I very much enjoy Omar Kelly’s blog. I used to read the PBP blogs daily, but since Ben Volin left, it has been nothing but hearsay from ESPN analysts. Edgar Thompson does not even bother to try interview anybody from the front office, and I honestly have a hard time believing that he is even a Miami fan. It’s ridiculous.

I don’t understand the hate you send his way Matty.

once again, did NOT expect this… at least not today lol.

Wilson is a good safety. Hard to judge anyone in Oakland because it’s literally a black hole for careers. Randy Moss almost dogged his way out of the league there before reclaiming greatness once he left town. Guys go there on big money deals and just stink terribly. I don’t know what it is about Oakland, but nobody seems to play as well as they can there.

I like Wilson though. He’s 6’0 210, so he’s got the build to play either safety position, so I think YBell will dictate which one he GW plays. If Bell is back, Wilson will play FS. If not, Wilson steps into YB’s spot at SS. Quality signing..

Love what our team is doing………gettin’ better in year 2.

I havent seen too many raiders games, is Wilson worth 5.5m a yr?

Welcome to the Fins, Gibril! You’re a tackling machine… And for members of the NFL take note, welcome to the future [Bell and Wilson]; the best safety duo in the NFL.

You guys keep talking about drafting an outside linebacker, but I think we could have a solid one in cameron wake. At 6’3 and 241 pounds, about the same size, if not bigger, than most linebackers in the draft. He was the sack leader in the CFL for both years he played, and defensive MVP as well. He was a DE in canada but he played outside linebacker at Penn. State so he has good linebacker experience. Also, he ran a 4.55 at the combine a few years back, which is faster than any linebacker in the draft this year. Plus, in interviews he seems to be all about the team, giving credit to his teammates all the time. Seems like the perfect parcells guy.

What do you guys think?

-didn’t see it brought up, but i just want to say how happy i am for Bell. out of all the guys I can think of that might really deserve to get a big payday, Bell tops the list. From working in a steel mill, to make several mil, the guy has been a good soldier – great attitude, humble, hardworker – he seems like the kind of guy that will really appreciate the opportunity he has been given.

Congratulations Mr. Bell! Well deserved!

husker was gone. crowder wasnt signed, bell wasnt, signed, and we didnt have wilson. id say it feels good to come back and see everyones back! (with a new phin)!!!
