The Cincinnati Bengals have been quite active in free agency, and they’ve added another key player on defense.

According to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Media , the Bengals have signed former New Orleans Saints safety Vonn Bell to a three-year deal.

It’s another nice move for the Bengals defense. Bell has been a good run-stopping safety with the Saints, and the fact that the Bengals are giving him a three-year deal indicates that they clearly have a lot of faith in him and view him as a starter for the foreseeable future.

The Bengals have made some big acquisitions this offseason. Coupled with the likely selection of Joe Burrow as the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, and it’s safe to say they’ll be better next season than they were in 2019.
