The problem I think people have is when you let a proven player like Bell walk, someone that has been a big part of the teams success, you are taking a gamble that #1 you can land someone in free agency as equally as good or better and #2 they are able to understand and play well in that new defensive scheme they are moving to. Fans are rightfully going to question letting both our safties go when they played a big part of the defense especially when there was no reason we couldnt have kept one of them. Like I said though, we will still need to wait and see how it turns out. Free agency did just start.
Bates was never going to be here, but yeah, letting Bell go instead of paying him the guaranteed money could be a mistake. Like you
said, the new guys are going to have a lot of learning to do. I just hope whoever we bring in is smart, that is what Vonn really brought
to the table and we could miss big time.
Actually, Free Agency starts tomorrow officially.
