If he can get a team to come over our cap and sign him I'd be all for that. Let's see who thinks Bates is worth two 1st Round draft picks...
True that we can extend him after we tag him. Hope this is in the cards.
The Tag just doesn't work out well, we all saw it with AJ, paid him 18 mil for one year of poor play.

Then take the 12-13 mill you were gonna use on Bates and sign James Daniels for 5 years and 50 and lock him in and play him at center. Trade Boyd to NE for Shaq Mason and we have our RG locked in. Draft Skyy Moore in the 2nd round our new slot WR. Move Carman to LG. Sign Morgan Moses for 2 years and draft an OT in the middle rounds to develop.
I like this A LOT.
Sucks to lose Bates and Boyd but we gotta do what we gotta do.
The OL needs upgraded and anyway we can do it has to be in the conversation. Daniels, Mason and Morgan Moses would do the job.

That being said I really like Bates, he is a good safety and played at a college 7 miles from my house.
Hope the get a contract done, like Casear says, this gives us more time for negotiations.
