Days after trading for the ability to choose their quarterback of the future in the 2023 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers bolstered an important position on the other side of the ball—by agreeing to a deal with free agent safety Vonn Bell.
Bell, a seven-year veteran, is coming off an impressive season—one where he totaled 77 tackles, four interceptions, four quarterback hits and two forced fumbles for the Cincinnati Bengals. He also, according to Pro Football Focus, allowed a 65.1 passer rating against opposing quarterbacks—which is, by far, the best mark of his pro tenure.
