Mike Bell is Officially an Eagle

The Saints have chosen not to match the one-year, $1.7 million offer sheet that RB Mike Bell signed with the Eagles, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It’s believed that the Saints never seriously considered matching the offer once the Eagles guaranteed Bell $500,000 and a no-trade clause.

Third-Round Pick could Land Boldin

According to NFL Network’s Mike Lombardi, the Cardinals’ asking price for Anquan Boldin is a third-round pick. While Boldin is going on 30 and would likely require a pricey multi-year commitment, Arizona’s demands appear to be plenty reasonable.

Vick will be an Eagle Longer than Originally Thought
