Absolutely... don't think the Bengals expected him to move last year. Happy to have him back is an understatement. Great moneywise to boot.

I'm very happy to have Bell back. It is, however a bit confounding to see them potentially bury both young safeties behind two vets. I'd say to outside vets, but one is and one only kind of its. I think Dax still has potential. I certainly don't think he's a guy that will benefit from less snaps. He may not be the best communicator back there, but he's not a lost cause.
It's nice to have Vonn, but it will be a shame if our first rounder from two years ago turns out to be a bust.

I don’t think they thought Carolina or anybody would overpay like that. Vonn obviously left on good terms and allowed them to match which of course they didn’t.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

I was upset we let both of our safeties go last year, and was really hoping we would keep Bell. I'm really glad that we got him back on a super cheap deal. I still think they're going to be looking for a long term solution to safety, but this will definitely give the Bengals a year of a solid vet that knows the system. Hopefully he'll help our run defense, especially with a very run heavy AFCN.
