I liked Bell a lot but he wasn't the greatest in coverage, and maybe the Bengals did not want to overpay when they could replace him with someone maybe even better for cheaper or similar cost. It's not great we lost both safeties but Lou has done a good job with the secondary overall and I think his scheme is DB friendly so hopefully the hit isn't too bad, plus you can't resign everyone and the fastest way to have your window close is overpay for your own guys who are mid at best. We just need to sign a new FA SS and hope Hill is ready to replace Bates.

There's competition in the NFL to sign guys. It isn't as easy as just keeping all the guys you want. And when guys leave it doesn't always mean that their team didn't want them.

Bell got like $3 million guaranteed money from us when we signed him. He got $13 million from Carolina. I'm sure that was big to him. And I'm fairly sure the Bengals wouldn't give him that much guaranteed.
