IF you could have Matthieu for under $10 million a year or Bates at $18 million a year, which would you pick?
Jesse is an enigma.
2020 Bates could probably get $18 million a year. The cap is going up and so are salaries for all positions.
2021 Bates doesn't deserve $18 million. He was still pretty good and deserves a good contract, but nothing close to $18 million.
If he plays like 2020 then we get a bargain this year, but we look at losing him next season.
