Why the **** is Jessie Bates not signed yet?

I have feeling Bates is gone after the season. But I would need confirmation from this years draft. If Bengals select Dax Hill, Cine or Cross in Rounds 1-3, I think Bates is gone. If Bates played better curing the regular season then he would have case. Rumor has his agent asking top 5 money but not the top money for safety. Top 5 would put him at least 14-15 million per.
