We are in trouble as this isn't a good Safety class, and if they aren't willing to do a Bell like contract for a Safety, we aren't getting an adequate replacement in Free Agency.
We aren't beating KC without Bell/Bates.
I don't think it can be overstated enough how much of a disaster letting Bell and Bates go is going to be. Expect a huge step backwards on defense, a couple of regular season wins just turned into losses. This team might still make the playoffs, but forget homefield adv, and it's now an even harder climb to get back to the AFCCG. Forget the SB. I don't see it happening.
