Not signing him would be dumb.
He still doesn’t deserve highest paid safety money. He was absolutely silent in the regular season. He made plays in the post season, yes, but need to have consistency to be the highest paid safety in the league. It also doesn’t help that he openly complained about it multiple times throughout the season. If signing him to huge money means sacrificing quality linemen, and am definitely not doing that. QUALITY LINE > Jessie Bates
