Hubbard, although coming off a disappointing year (largely due to injury), and Bates are cornerstones. Locking them up now would make a ton of sense, but I really want a veteran pass rusher.
I might be in the minority, but I think they should consider holding off on signing Bates long-term. Whenever he gets a long term deal, it's going to be at the top of the market. It may make sense to franchise tag him for a year or two before doing a long-term deal. I think the cap hit would be lower.
