If we pull the tag, does any team offer him anything at this point that was even close to what we were offering? Does any team offer him anything worthwhile this close to the season?

Could we get anything more than peanuts if we try the tag and trade??

It's sad but Bates agent screwed him, Ben Roethlisberger style.

1.) Why would we get nothing for him at this point? Did his playoff tape disappear overnight? Did his 2020 tape dissappear as well?

1b.) Why pull the plug now on the franchise tag on him now? We wouldn't even get a comp pick for him right now.

2.)Bates and Hill can play together; Hill has been just as impressive from the Slot as deep Safety. Both him and Bates make us a better team!

3.) His agent is trying to get a fair deal for Him! How did he screw him again?

I'd be satisfied with him starting at FS this year if Bates hasn't returned.
Hill is playing fast, he's attacking the ball carrier, and he's making plays in the passing game.
He's what I expected he'd be.

Dude is a stud and his versatility is unquestionable.
