Bengals Defense hasn't really given up the huge splash plays now that may be a credit to Bates. Think he's just an overall smart player that is on the fringe of being above average.
As noted many times he doesn't make the splash plays you see typically out of a top 3 safety and nor do we use him in a blitz package either.
If you can find similar production elsewhere for 1/3rd of the price I think you do it. Obviously the $$$ needing to be allocated elsewhere is the primary reason this is a discussion.
