it doesn't break the bank so we cannot really upgrade the OL like we need to.
Playoff Bates was out best player on D and was the reason we were able to be the only team running 1 safety high sets deep in the playoffs. The Legion of Boom changed football forever. Ever since then 2 high has been the predominate defensive look in the playoffs.
I just can’t let that go in free agency if we have the chance to keep him
Factor in he wants to stay too
