Vonn Bell Sends Emotional Statement to New Orleans After Leaving Saints in Free Agency

Vonn Bell's time with the New Orleans Saints was bound to reach an end after the team opted to bring back fellow safety Malcolm Jenkins. So, Bell cashed in on the open market, where he signed a three-year, $18 million contract with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now officially a member of the Bengals, Bell took to the time to write up and send out an emotional statement to the city of New Orleans, the place he called home since 2016.

You can tell just how much Bell thinks of not only the Saints , but the entire city and its inhabitants. After spending three years at Ohio State, the safety declared for the NFL Draft in 2016. New Orleans was so infatuated with Bell, that they actually traded their third and fourth-round selections in that year's draft to the New England Patriots to select him in the second round.

While wearing a Saints uniform, Bell missed just three games in four seasons, where he recorded 348 tackles, 19 quarterback hits, 14 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and one interception.

Now, it's onto Cincinnati for Bell, but he'll never forget the countless memories that he had with the Saints.
