There are other safeties out there, but one can argue the safety position will now be a downgrade after losing both Bates AND Bell.

More power to you three.... but I rather have Tee Higgins than Bates. Our $$$ is tied up in our offense.
I think we can find a serviceable safety to replace his production + hope our recent draft picks continue to hit.
