Also, guaranteed money is a bad excuse. Especially on this team where players don't get cut. Regardless, the Bengals should already be looking into loans because even if the Burrow extension is team friendly in that respect they'll still need some. So why not get enough to cover Bell as well while you are at it?

But I digress. With both safeties gone I guess we are going to find out whether Lou really is as good as we think he is now. Hopefully Dax is developed, Tycen contributes, and maybe we find someone else affordable to add to the mix.

Also, I will say our priorities should be Burrow, then Oline. Everything else can take a back seat, and I mean everything.

I like Bell, but he's not great against the pass. In our position, we're going to be facing the Bills and Chiefs and need safeties that can cover. So I kind of get letting him go.

Now, the question is: Can we add one that can cover better than Bell?
