According to Josina Anderson, the Panthers and Saints have expressed interest in current free-agent S Vonn Bell.
Bell has spent the past four years in New Orleans and the team would like to keep him in the fold. Bell would also make sense for the division-rival Panthers, who have a need at safety.
Bell, 25, was taken with the No. 61 overall pick out of Ohio State after the Saints traded up with the Patriots to select him in the middle of round two. The Saints gave up their third- and fourth-round picks as part of the deal to select Bell.
According to OverTheCap.com, Bell received a four-year contract worth $5,118,974 to go along with a signing bonus of $1,922,888. He made a base salary of $991,677 in 2019.
In 2019, Bell appeared in 13 games for the Saints and recorded 89 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries including one returned for a touchdown, one interception and five pass defenses.
