Saints free agent safety Vonn Bell signs three-year contract with Bengals

Not that it comes as a surprise at this point but Vonn Bell’s time with the Saints is over.

The free agent safety has signed a three-year deal with the Bengals, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted Wednesday.

Former #Saints S Vonn Bell has a new home, agreeing on a 3-year deal with the #Bengals, per @MikeGarafolo and me. Another big-time free agent acquisition for Cincy.

The former Ohio State standout returns to the Buckeye state after four seasons in New Orleans after being selected in the second round of the 2016 draft.

Last week, the Saints signed Malcolm Jenkins in a move that signaled their preference to move on from the 25-year old from Chatanooga, Tenn.

Bell had just one interception with 14 pass deflections with New Orleans but managed between 80 and 90 tackles each season.
