I hadn't heard we had a close deal with Uzomah and I just thought we couldn't afford the deal he got. I would be shocked if they were similar offers and he chose to leave. TE in the 1st is on my list of positions I would be upset if we drafted. I'll accept it if we draft one in the 4th or later but if we go earlier than that I hope it's while trading back to pick up extra picks. It will be interesting seeing how the 1st Rd starts to shake out and what players will be available at 31.
Bates isn't gonna get 18-20 mill a year from anyone not even us. I've never even seen where he officially signed his franchise tag.
