Obviously still too early to judge anything, but even if they score CGJ, I still think letting Bell go was a mistake.
Maybe they tried to negotiate with him and he was only concerned with the money. I won't assume the worst, as I have been trained to do after 32 years as a Bengal fan. ASSUMING that money goes to Burrow/Higgins/Chase.
You lose quality pieces in FA when you assemble a good team. That's just how it is. I'd written Bates off using that logic and I have no qualms with us not giving him the money Atlanta did. But if we can't get an able-bodied replacement for Bell in FA this year, we've weakened our team considerably. Losing both starting safeties is a great thing when you have shitty starting safeties. We had good ones.

If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
