With all the skilled players we have we can't afford to give him a top safety contract. If he wants to be a part of the Bengal organization moving forward he will have to give in or unfortunately move on. It's business and their are more valuable assets on this Bengals team than safety.
Bates doesn’t care about playing for the Bengals. Most players don’t care. They care about guaranteed $ and years on the contract. He wants to get paid and he wants a long term deal. Don’t blame him, I would want to get the best deal I could as well. But he probably won’t get it here.
