Vonn Bell

Bengals agreed to terms with S Vonn Bell, formerly of the Panthers, on a one-year contract.

Like Russell Wilson, Bell is also getting paid guaranteed money to not play for his former team. The veteran safety will receive $6 million in guaranteed money in 2024, with most of that being paid by the Panthers after the Bengals signed him to a vet minimum. Bell was with the Bengals from 2020 through 2022 and totaled 288 tackles, five interceptions, and eight forced fumbles in his first stint. Bell earned a PFF coverage grade of 63.8 with the Panthers last season, and now joins a revamped safety corps that also includes Geno Stone, who was signed from the Ravens earlier in the week.
