Right, Jamal Adam’s has 2 ints in his entire 4 year career while Bates has had 3 every season of his 3 year career. One is a throw back box safety hybrid linebacker and the other is a center fielder. Now that said, they both bring game changing production in different ways which is why you pay both at the upper echelon of the market.

I said earlier, I’d prefer to pay him like Simmons but I’d pay him like Adams if push came to shoved because of the jump we will see in the cap next year. Structure it so we take the lump next year and then lower yearly hits the following 3 or so years.
