Adams supposedly wants $40 million guaranteed and bonuses paid out over 3 years not 4. Bates is going to want something close to that offer
Here is the gitch in the comparison. The Bengals come out ahead by keeping Bates at less than $3 million this year and then making him the highest paid safety in the league next year.
If Bates wants the security of a long term deal a year before his contract expires then he is going to have to give a little back.
