Running back Tatum Bell, whose pilfering of Rudi Johnson’s bags ranks just beneath the Najeh Davenport hamper incident as one of the funniest NFL stories we’ve ever heard, reportedly will visit with the Houston Texans. (Taco Bill has chimed in with his interpretation of Bell’s next career.)
The fit is obvious — Bell previously played in Denver, and the Texans are emulating the Broncos’ attack, with former Broncos offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak now the head coach in Houston and former Broncos offensive line coach Alex Gibbs out of retirement to run the same system for the Texans.
The Texans currently have Ahman Green, Chris Taylor, and Steve Slaton at the top of the depth chart. If Bell were to sign, Green could be in trouble, even though he recently reduced his base salary from $3.8 million to $1.8 million.
If he’s smart, Bell won’t leave his stuff laying around where Ahman might see it.
Then again, if Bell were smart, he wouldn’t have bogarted Rudi’s bags.

If the Texans were smart, they would either cancel the visit or announce that they kicked the tires and didn’t want to sign him.
The last thing in the world they should do is put him in a Texan uniform.

maybe he can play a new position on defense, designated (bag) fumble picker-upper

I guess it’s all subjective Florio, but for my money this is funnier than Davenport. There was most likely alcohol involved in the Dumptrucks deed. The Bellhop did this sober.
