I don't see it happening.

But if he returns to form and plays like one of the top safeties in the league over the full season the Bengals might be willing to pay him more.

I don't dislike Bates. I'd just rather keep guys like Jonah and Higgins moving forward. If we just took his cheaper replacement last night, I'd just as soon roll with that.
