The Los Angeles Rams will have at least one new starting safety in 2023. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Nick Scott has agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, the team the Rams beat in Super Bowl LVI.
The deal is worth $12 million, according to Schefter.
Scott visited the Bengals on Thursday night and was in talks with the team about a deal, but nothing was signed after the meeting. On Friday, they agreed to the framework of the contract, but the deal has not yet been signed.
Scott played 16 games for the Rams last season and was on the field for 97% of the defensive snaps, picking off two passes and finishing with a career-high 86 tackles.
Former Rams safety Nick Scott reached agreement on a three-year, $12 million deal with the Bengals, per source. Scott helped beat them in the Super Bowl and now will try to help the Bengals win their own.
