Absolutely... don't think the Bengals expected him to move last year. Happy to have him back is an understatement. Great moneywise to boot.

They were clearly blindsided by Vonn leaving last year.

Believe they were blindsided as well but since Burrow got hurt anyway it worked out for the best with the Bengals getting Vonn back mostly on Carolina's dime.

I'm very happy to have Bell back. It is, however a bit confounding to see them potentially bury both young safeties behind two vets. I'd say to outside vets, but one is and one only kind of its. I think Dax still has potential. I certainly don't think he's a guy that will benefit from less snaps. He may not be the best communicator back there, but he's not a lost cause.
It's nice to have Vonn, but it will be a shame if our first rounder from two years ago turns out to be a bust.

He's probably gonna be playing corner.

I don’t think they thought Carolina or anybody would overpay like that. Vonn obviously left on good terms and allowed them to match which of course they didn’t.

Super glad to have Bell back! This is a fantastic move!
RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Brownshoe - 03-14-2024
I was upset we let both of our safeties go last year, and was really hoping we would keep Bell. I'm really glad that we got him back on a super cheap deal. I still think they're going to be looking for a long term solution to safety, but this will definitely give the Bengals a year of a solid vet that knows the system. Hopefully he'll help our run defense, especially with a very run heavy AFCN.

Saw this stat earlier; I'm wondering how many of these plays came when he was playing Man to man vs short zone vs deep zone alignment?
While I don't think Dax is the future at FS I think he has the ability to play at a very high level at Nickle or SS. His combination of blitzing, man Coverage, and run defense will make him a special player!

I love the competition it creates in camp. Who is to say Bell wins a starting gig?
I love the safety room now, great combo of vets and young guys.
