I put the loss of Bell squarely on the FO. I have no problem with a player chasing the money. For every player that says they took less money to join a team, there 100s more that will jump all over the money. They knew they were going to lose Bates, and Lou made it known that he did not want to lose both safeties.
Or maybe they saw bells skills diminishing..: and realized he wasn’t worth what he signed for (to the bengals).
