Bell, who signed a three-year contract extension worth up to $12 million in March 2025, faces a possible league suspension after the arrest. He carries a cap hit of $2.833 million for the 2026 season.

Undrafted out of Florida A&M in 2022, Bell has recorded 142 tackles, seven passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 48 career games (11 starts) for the Cowboys.
