He was basically an insurance plan for the draft.
Hill will (and likely should) take over for Bates after this year.
Bell is the one the Bengals need to be focused on retaining now.
Saw it the same way.
Bates wouldn’t sign a deal last season, and again, this season. Bengals had no choice but to find his replacement. Bates has made his intentions quite clear.
Agree on Bell, too!
