I'd pay Bates 14M, which is much more than he deserved with his crap season, but I add in last season's performance plus the playoffs plus his age plus his intangibles minus his crybaby shit with worrying over his contract this season & his social media BS I think that is fair if it falls in line with our guaranteed money situation.

If not, I keep the tag on him and say play like the best safety in the NFL in 2022 and I'll pay you accordingly.

And $14M/yr average would get you a Top 10 CB last season. You just complained about the Bengals CB play. Listed CBs as the second highest priority on defense ahead of safeties. And now you’re proposing over paying (by your own admission) a FS with Top 10 CB money instead of prioritizing the CBs against your own advice.
