Bell is simply an older Battle, doesnt really solve our need for a FS.

Use Daxton Hill like the Ravens use Kyle Hamilton.
Hamilton was basically the Ravens slot CB in dime situations and SS in in nickel.

Lou's comments at the combine regarding Hilton would leave me to believe that cutting Mike isnt even a consideration.

Mike Hilton is one of the best slot corners in the league. Him rotating back to FS is an admission of weakness at centerfield.
Scott played primarily at FS, though he may be a better SS. Any Safety we bring in would be for FS purposes.
Dax actually had a better stat line in his 1st year starting than Bates did in 2021. His development seems to be ok physically, but lacking experience or lacking the required thought process.
