LeVeon Bell trade

[Mikeyo918]

So I play a offline CFM (Dolphins) with 32 user control.
I've had LeVeon on the bench through 5 weeks for PIT, and now was thinking of trading him elsewhere, which looks like will happen IRL.
What's some good trade packages for him? Whoever he goes to I will resign him long term also.

Teams im looking at moving him to
NYJ (real life scenario)
OAK (Only have 1 guy signed through 2019 at rb, not Lynch)
BAL (inter division rival? PIT may be reluctant, but what if BAL offers best deal)
TB (They've got rookie Ronald Jones for 3 more years, but he's not a feature back)

any other team options?

Well irl the list of teams that can afford him, according to Sportrac, without needing to cut or restructure contracts would be IND, SF, HOU, TEN, NYJ, OAK, and maybe MIA. CLE, CIN and BAL are on that list too but I imagine the chances of him being traded in the division are slim and none. No way the Steelers want to play him twice a year.

Houston seems like the best bet. They are a good team that needs a spark.

If you wanted to consider where Bell would want to go, Colts.

Colts are also in most need of a RB and you can get some premium draft capital too.

Tough to say. What complicates this irl is that Bell HAS to play on the tag this year. Not the Steelers nor any other team can sign him to a long term contract until next year. So any team that trades for him can only guarantee a one year (half season) rental for their investment.

Also despite the RB market making (or trying to make) a comeback, it's still probably an undervalued position. Talent wise Bell is worth a lot obviously, maybe a first and maybe even a little more (just my opinion), but what team wants go give up premium picks for a player that is on a one year deal and you can't sign long term at the time of the trade, at a position where you can find good talent throughout the draft.

I'm very interested to see what happens to him. You don't usually see elite players get traded in their prime and including Mack we might see it happen twice this year.

If your 32 team control is using coaches and you've locked down where you want to send him, or at least have a short list, you can give up control of the recieving team(s) and negotiate with the cpu to see what you can get, and then take over the team again once you have it figured out.

Do you want a Madden-only trade package? Or, are you looking for something realistic?



In real life i doubt they will get anything other than a 3 for him. Losing him for less doesn't make sense cuz then they'd forfeit a surefire 3rd round conditional pick in 2020. Nobody is giving up a 1 or a 2 for a 13 game rental that they have no option of re-signing until FA when anyone can sign him.


If you don't want to be realistic you could get more I'm sure. Maybe a 1 or a 2 and a decent player.
