Hard to justify having 1st round picks riding the pine in their 2nd year, especially when you're a true contender and about to have huge contracts coming for your QB1 and WR1 over the next couple years.
Gotta get as much immediate value out of your draft picks as you can.
As most have said Fowler likely has nothing, just that Cincy has money today and he thinks they'll keep him. We know Bates has been public and negotiations haven't moved and Dax is likely his replacement. In bizarro land where Bates resigns a short term front loaded deal, Bell is still a UFA. We assume they resign him, but it's the other way around then Dax could play SS even if it isn't ideal.
