Nick Scott was not really "let go" by the Rams. Unless you're saying Bates and Bell were let go by the Bengals. The Rams were hoping to sign him.
And he was popular on the Rams. Here are some comments from a Ram's website, "Ramblin Fan," on the loss of Nick Scott:
"The anticipation of news about LA Rams free agent defensive back Nick Scott signing today was pretty unbearable."
" If the Rams lost Nick Scott to the Bengals, the defense would truly be a matter of significant concern in 2023."
"Thanks to his incredible ability to tackle in the NFL Playoffs after the 2021 NFL season, the Rams were able to win four consecutive postseason games to earn their first Lombardi Trophy for the city of Los Angeles. Some say that he was one of the key contributors."
He hasn't lived up to expectations in Cincinnati, but he wasn't "let go" by the Rams. The Bengals were desperate with the loss of Bell and Bates and sold a "young and a rapidly improving NFL defensive back" on signing with them.
