This is what i think. Bengals are letting Bates "test" the market, once he does... he might discover no one is willing to pay him what he is asking for? So back to Bengals with the Best Offer. 

SF signed T Gibson to a 1-yr, so they likely out.
Haven't heard much from the other 2 yet.

Well ok then:

• S Jessie Bates: Signing a four-year, $64.02 million contract that includes $23 million in Year 1. (Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport)
