Bell will only be missed if Conner is injured. There is a clear drop off to Ridley. I like Samuels, but he is not the threat that Conner or Bell would be obviously.
Bell will never recoup this $14.5M he has left on the table. It would be fitting to get #7 this year without him, while he goes to an over paying bottom feeder and has 3 forgettable seasons before retiring due to wear and tear.
