    Detroit Lions Working on Long Term Deal with Joique Bell

    They extended a second-round tender for now for 2.187 mill, but both sides are still working on a long-term contract. The tender was necessary in case the long-term deal is not reached before 4:00 ET today (Tuesday). Now, they would get a second round pick if the talks break down and he signs with another team.

    I think Bell is underrated, he is a nice insurance policy for Reggie Bush because he is a poor man's Bush himself with his pass-catching ability out of the backfield.

    really like joique, he is a solid RB...could have had a great year last year but obviously reggie was in the way...whenever reggie was down or out, bell filled in nicely

    Turns out the tender was not necessary, Bell locked up for three years, 9.3 mill.

    I think Bell is a good player but he represents an injury risk. The Lions should probably try to hold on to him.

    Does this put an end to Reggie Bush in Detroit now?

    All Lions need now is a qb who doesn't look like and think like someone with Down syndrome.
