Podcast appearances and mentions of Vonn Bell

Ohio State has pulled a number of elite defensive players out of the state of Georgia over the years, including defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, linebacker Raekwon McMillan, cornerback Jordan Hancock, and safety Vonn Bell. Now, the Buckeyes could be on the verge of landing another elite talent from the state, 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson. In this special bonus episode of the Skull Session Recruiting Podcast, Marc Givler and Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com discuss that and several other key takeaways from their time in Georgia on this year's edition of the Southern Swing recruiting trip. 

On April 22, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds suffered another tough loss, falling 11-13 to the Miami Marlins in a high-scoring affair at LoanDepot Park. The game, part of a three-game series, saw the Reds struggle defensively, particularly in a disastrous seventh inning that allowed the Marlins to surge ahead. Starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft had a rough outing, unable to contain Miami's offense, while the Reds' bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding. Offensively, TJ Friedl and Jose Trevino each had two hits, and Noelvi Marte blasted a home run, but the team's hard-hit balls often found Marlins' gloves, as noted by fans on X. Despite Nick Martinez's solid relief effort, costly errors and poor situational hitting (1-for-10 with runners in scoring position) doomed Cincinnati. The loss dropped the Reds to 11-13, highlighting ongoing issues with consistency and defense as they aim to avoid a sweep today. The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2025 NFL Draft with the 17th overall pick and six total selections, aiming to address critical defensive and offensive needs. After a 9-8 season, the focus is on bolstering the defense, which struggled last year, prompting the firing of coordinator Lou Anarumo. Mock drafts project the Bengals targeting impact defenders like Georgia safety Malaki Starks, Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen, or Marshall EDGE Mike Green to complement Trey Hendrickson. The defensive line and secondary, weakened by departures like Sam Hubbard and Vonn Bell, are priorities. Offensively, adding depth at guard or tackle is possible, with Alabama's Parker Brailsford mentioned. With Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins locked in, the pressure is on director Duke Tobin to hit on draft picks to maximize Burrow's prime and return to playoff contention under new coordinator Al Golden.

As of March 12, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals are entering the free agency period with a focus on bolstering their roster following a 2024 season that left them eager to improve both offensively and defensively. With the new NFL league year officially starting today at 4 p.m. ET, the Bengals have already made strategic moves in prior years and are poised to target key free agents to address lingering needs. The team currently has approximately $46 million in salary cap space, providing flexibility to pursue impactful additions while managing extensions for stars like Ja'Marr Chase and decisions regarding Tee Higgins, who has been franchise-tagged for the second consecutive year at $26.2 million. Looking back at last year's free agency as a reference point, the Bengals added players like safety Geno Stone from Baltimore, running back Zack Moss from Indianapolis, tight end Mike Gesicki from New England, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins from Houston, and safety Vonn Bell from Carolina. They also retained key depth pieces such as tight end Drew Sample, offensive lineman Cody Ford, and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. These moves showcased a balanced approach, enhancing the offense around Joe Burrow while reinforcing a defense under new coordinator Al Golden. For 2025, the Bengals appear to be continuing this strategy, with an emphasis on fortifying the defensive line and secondary, areas that struggled in 2024. Posts on X and web sources suggest the Bengals have interest in several free agents this offseason. On the offensive line, names like Will Hernandez, Pat Mekari, Teven Jenkins, and Mekhi Becton have surfaced as potential targets to protect Burrow and improve the run game. Defensively, edge rushers such as Azeez Ojulari, Dre'Mont Jones, and Levi Onwuzurike are on the radar to complement or replace Trey Hendrickson, who has requested a trade. Veteran Calais Campbell could provide leadership and depth. With 23 pending free agents, including stars like Higgins, B.J. Hill, and Mike Hilton, the Bengals must balance re-signings with external additions. Their draft position (17th overall) and six picks offer further flexibility, but free agency will be critical in setting the tone for 2025. Expect Cincinnati to target versatile, high-impact players to elevate their contention window.

CINCINNATI -- Joe Burrow threw three more touchdowns and went over 4,000 yards passing while Ja'Marr Chase went over 1,500 yards receiving for the season with six catches and 92 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals kept their playoff hopes alive with a 24-6 win over the Cleveland Browns. The game's momentum swung early on a forced fumble by Vonn Bell at the Cincinnati 1. Burrow then answered with a 99-yard drive that ended with Burrow falling down and throwing a touchdown to Tee Higgins. Trags and Skinny break down Cincinnati's third straight win.

During his off day, Bell checked in with Dave Lapham to discuss the game and the performances of some of the young players looking to make their impact with the Bengals and on the game.

After a season away from the Cincinnati Bengals, safety Vonn Bell returns with lofty goals for himself and the Bengals' defense.

Dave Lapham was back on the practice fields Thursday afternoon as the Cincinnati Bengals continued their work toward the 2024 NFL season. With nine days until the Bengals play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their first preseason game, Lap knows each day brings more competition as young players look to make a mark and earn their place on the roster. There was minor injury news on Thursday as things continued to be put together on both sides of the ball. Bengals like Vonn Bell and Geno Stone are looking to give the Bengals strength up the middle of the defense after seeing setbacks a year ago. Second-year receivers Charlie Jones and Andrei Iosivas have made great strides physically and mentally, giving the Bengals one of the top receiving groups in the NFL. This is another not-to-miss episode of Dave Lapham In The Trenches, presented by First Star Logistics.

Cincinnati Bengals defense coordinator Lou Anarumo joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals' upcoming training camp and the position battles on the defensive side of the ball. Lou and Lap talk about the new vision for the Bengal's defense in 2024. With a lot of new players joining the defense, it will be interesting to see which players emerge as starters for the start of the 2024 season.  The biggest position battle seems to be in the secondary, with Dax Hill competing at outside corner instead of safety like in 2023. The Bengals also have three starting-caliber safeties that will be fighting for starting playing time; Geno Stone, Vonn Bell, and Jordan Battle.  Coach Lou is extremely excited about his new defense in 2024 and can't wait to get things rolling at the start of training camp.  We want to thank Coach Lou Anarumo for being a fantastic guest and for joining us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics.

Anarumo shares his thoughts on the process of fixing the explosive play issue, pinpointing Sheldon Rankins and Geno Stone, the impact of Vonn Bell, depth approach on the defensive line and where progress stands with the collection of young players in the secondary.  After, Paul and Jay offer takeaways from the conversation, discuss news of the week including Tee Higgins signing the franchise tag and why you always have to be on high alert at Home Depot and Fairy Tale Festivals. 

NFL Broadcaster Cris Collinsworth joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals offseason and to give his thoughts on the Bengals 2024 draft class.  Lap and Cris discuss why they think the Bengal's 2024 offseason has been very impressive so far. With the additions of Mike Gesicki, Geno Stone, Vonn Bell, Sheldon Rankins, and Trent Brown both Lap and Cris think the Bengals have improved at multiple positions.  Cris also gives his opinion on the Bengals 2024 draft class. The Bengals had a very impressive draft and Cris thinks a lot of this class will be impact players for the Bengals in 2024. They made big changes in the trenches by drafting Amaruis Mims at offensive tackle and added two new defense tackles Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson. The Bengals also made big additions to the tight end room with Erik All and Tanner Mclachlan.

The Cincinnati Bengals lost DJ Reader to the Detroit Lions for a deal similar to what they gave  Sheldon Rankins, and losing him is a significant blow - especially if he recovers as expected. But with the addition of Rankins, the Bengals are courting Teair Tart to try to replace some of Reader's nose tackle snaps. They are also hosting Mekhi Becton as a right tackle solution before they might draft one - but they don't want to get to the draft in dire straits at the position. Meanwhile, Vonn Bell is officially back in Cincinnati and we break down what that means for the safety room. Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Off the Bench for TWO weeks will be hosted by Reid and Casey. The Cincinnati Bengals signed Sheldon Rankins to a 2-year deal worth 26 million dollars. This more than likely spells the end for DJ Reader. We are holding out hope for a miracle. Where does that leave the rest of the position group? Vonn Bell is rumored to be coming back to Cincinnati this year on a low deal that would help bolster the Safeties room. Where does that put Dax Hill? Mekhi Becton is coming in for a visit to play Right Tackle/ Swing Tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals. Not many options left in this Free Agency period what does Duke Tobin have up his sleeve? The Cincinnati Bearcats got a major win against Kansas yesterday. The win now puts them in a position to win one more to make it to the finals and potentially a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Xavier also comes out with a win over Butler they unfortunately play UCONN.

The Carolina Panthers continued their quest to rebuild the offensive line late Monday night by agreeing to a four-year, $53 million deal with former Seattle Seahawks LG Damien Lewis. The Panthers now have $89 million guaranteed to each of its offensive guard signings. Julian Council discusses what message this sends to Bryce Young. Monday was a difficult day for the Panthers defense as Carolina traded Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns to the Giants, watched Frankie Luvu sign with the Commanders, and parted ways with Vonn Bell. The defensive rebuild began in earnest on Tuesday as the Panthers came to terms with A'Shawn Robinson and Josey Jewell. Julian discusses the importance of each signing. Among the top needs for the Panthers is acquiring a top tier WR. So far, free agency hasn't yielded a ton of options as reports suggest that Calvin Ridley is between staying in Jacksonville or heading to New England. One option for the Panthers is trading for Bengals WR Tee Higgins, who asked for a trade on Monday morning. Julian discusses whether the Panthers should trade assets for Higgins or wait until the draft to select a WR. Plus, an updated look at the Panthers remaining free agent needs. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Chinn joins Shaq Thompson, Jaycee Horn, Xavier Woods, Donte Jackson, and Vonn Bell among the list of starters to miss a game this season.

After an injury-plagued 2022, Jeremy Chinn is back healthy for the Carolina Panthers heading into 2022. Chinn enters the final year of his rookie contract in a new role as defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero will look to utilize Chinn as more of a "playmaker" with the addition of Vonn Bell in the safety room. Will the Panthers see the best version of Chinn in 2023?The Panthers find themselves with a deep safety room as Chinn, Bell, and Xavier Woods are all quality starters while rookie Jammie Robinson and special teams ace Sam Franklin present quality backup options. Considering the depth and the expectation that Chinn won't spend the majority of time at safety, how often should fans expect to see him in the secondary?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Bengals boast impressive depth on the defensive side of the ball despite some turnover in the secondary. We break down how they maintained their versatility and depth this offseason, and how they stack up for 2023. Should you expect a fall-off in safety quality with Dax Hill and Nick Scott replacing Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell? How does Jordan Battle fit into the picture at safety? Plus, they invested heavily in hyper-athletic edge rusher Myles Murphy, boast stability at linebacker, and improved cornerback depth.
