This take is confusing, Bates hasnt been bluffing anything after July 15th. Bates recent absence had nothing to do with attitude or bluffing, not sure why this keeps being repeated?
Of course it’s my opinion it’s a message board.
They (Bates or his agent or both)were obviously bluffing leaking out he wasn’t going to play on the tag when every man and his dog knew he wasn’t going to pass up on 13 million.
All that has done is make Bates miss a few weeks of camp and let Dax become the first thought in everyone’s minds when it comes to the future.
The fact he’s been in constant communication with the team makes me think it’s his agent advising him not to show up for what it’s worth.
Either way Bates has to perform at the hugest level this season and that can only be good for us.
