March 13, 20232 yr comment_1699509 No numbers yet for Vonn. Why would Vonn Bell at the end of his career go from a contender where he was a starter to the team with the number one overall pick. `

March 13, 20232 yr comment_1699517 Appreciate the chart—but are the Bengals going to wade around in the FA pool to basically pay the same money on what they already had on the roster? I am very doubtful. The Bengal historical approach to “build (and save money for 5 years on a position) through the draft” is the more likely way they will go.

But the idea of a MAC safety suddenly becoming of JBIII/Vonn Bell quality, is not very convincing. (As everyone scurries around Google to find all MAC NFL safeties)

And spend what amount of money? And will the replacement(s) be too old/too limited/etc.? Dog chases tail. The Bengals have seen this movie before: win for a year or two, have half their good players be sold off, then wander around for 2-3 years while draft picks get sorted out.

Do we know what Carolina paid? You knew some players were going to go. Happens to every team. We'll see how they backfill the spot.

Must be at least in the mix with him. Would have preferred the known quantity and experience in the system that Bell has. But CJ is a few years younger and coming off a strong season. Would be a solid swap if they can actually get it done.

March 13, 20232 yr comment_1699529 PFF has CJ Gardner-Johnson projected for a $12.5M per year deal. They had Vonn Bell projected at $8M per. Don't know how realistic this one is but maybe PFF is just way too high on that number.
