The Bengals are NOT doing the same thing to Bates. He is playing out his contract. They can tag him for 2 more years if need be, but they will get a new contract done with him. He's going to have to show this season he is worth the money he is asking for as the top safety in the league. Football players often bet on themselves. It's not a unique situation.
