If it was that valuable, S's wouldn't have the lowest non-specialist FT #'s in the league.  The NFL shot callers aren't willing to overpay for continuity.  Neither should we.  I mean the Rams drug Weddle out of a 2 year retirement at the end of the year and won the SB.

At the end of the day, Bates admits that he didn't handle his business the right way this year.  The coaches that are advising the FO are obviously not banging their fists on the desk to meet his demands.  The honus is on him to lower his demands if he wants to stay.  

Just seems like a yearly thing around here.  Fan favorite is set to hit FA, board rationalizes as to why the club should FT them and cave to their demands.  Saw it last year with Lawson and the year before with AJ.
