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

I love Bates but the Bengals have too many more important players to re-sign and they drafted safety replacements this year.

Burrow , Chase, Wilson, and Williams will all get top contracts.

It’s also going to be hard to lose Boyd and Higgins but they won’t be able to afford two mega wr contracts after chase gets his money.

One of the problems of finally having a top team with lots of pro bowl quality players
