After losing both starting safeties for the last three seasons in the first few days of free agency, the Cincinnati Bengals were in desperate need of a new safety. Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell both signed with different NFC South teams.
They were patient and didn’t reach. The front office has a set price tag they are willing to spend on the safety position. Despite the need, the Bengals weren’t going to get antsy and decide against their plan.
Enter former Los Angeles Rams safety, Nick Scott. The Bengals signed Scott to a three-year deal on Monday and moving forward the plan is for Dax Hill and Scott to be the starting safety duo for the foreseeable future.
