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

I feel the same. It is out of the question we sign Bates to a big extension now and the Draft and now the Minkah Fitzpatrick 
deal sealed this in stone. We wouldn't of drafted BOTH Dax and Tycen if a deal was going to happen. Not in the cards people.


1 - Jessie did say those things and he did play poorly during the regular season. He didn't play like a top 10 Safety in the
regular season, let alone a top 5 Safety like he evidently thinks he is otherwise he would of already signed an extension 
with us. The FO, coaches and the team clearly wanted him extended. They would of offered something fair. He should of
taken it and considered his play during the regular season when he made those comments.

2 - True.

3 - True.

4 - Doesn't mean that is true cause Goodberry tweeted it.

5 - We will see, certainly wouldn't be able to sign Higgins or maybe even Chase if we gave Bates a giant deal like he wants.


This is true for sure. Hope that Dax Hill can be a great cover 1 single high safety like Bates...

Let's get real here. The Bengals were touting Jessie as the best Safety in Football last Off-season . He came off an all pro season and was rated #1 Safety by PFF . Yet the guy isn't supposed to expect a big time contract? What sense does that make? 

We can certainly afford to sign Bates as well as Burrow and Chase. 

The Rams signed Ramsey, Donald, Stafford, Howard,  Robinson,  and Kupp all to massive deals this  off-season.
