Vonn Bell - 3 years, $18 mill contract. $6 mill APY

Bell has over 200 tackles in the two years he's been a Bengal.
13 PBUs
1 INT
8 TFLs
6 FFs
78.0 PFF coverage rating in 2021, 64.6 in 2020. Over 70 overall PFF rating both years.

So it's possible to find good safeties under $10 mill, but it's not easy.
Also, as you'd probably point out anyway, Bell isn't a prototypical ball hawking FS.


With that said, I do think there are a few safeties in this upcoming draft class that could come in immediately as a rookie and be a solid-or-better starter.

If team decides to extend/tag Bates though, I get it and think it's a sound move.

Well Bell has drastically improved while he has been here(particularly in coverage). If he was on the Open Market this year he is getting over 10 Million Per Year.
