The addition of Bell gives the Panthers more flexibility with former second-round pick Jeremy Chinn, who was better utilized in his rookie season at linebacker.
The Panthers also picked up former Saints defensive tackle Shy Tuttle on a three-year, $19.5 million deal, according to ESPN.
Tuttle is expected to play nose tackle in Carolina’s new defensive scheme under defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, with Derrick Brown moving to defensive end.
