People talking about overpaying Bates because of "leadership". Here's the Bengals captains in 2020...
Vonn Bell (outside FA 1st year)
Giovani Bernard (gone by 2021)
Joe Burrow (rookie)
Josh Bynes (outside FA 1st year, gone by 2021)
AJ Green (gone by 2021)
Kevin Huber
Shawn Williams (benched in 2020, gone by 2021)
That's 3 guys who were brand new to the team that year, and 4 guys who were gone one year later for the SB run.
NFL teams get turnover. Make sure you keep the good ones and don't overpay the others to try to hold on for too long.
