His tactics worked for him and Bates so the player and agent got all the favors for playing the game. Bates highest paid safety, Agent significant payday for the contract Bates signed, Bates getting all the notoriety and fame that he didn't get playing for the Bengals (probowl, top 100 player etc).

Higgins leaves Cinci and will be a top 100 player, probowl player, all pro, highest paid receiver, and everything else players struggle to get leaguewide recognition and / or top pay here for. It is definitely worth playing hardball if you are the Agent and player, even though us fans don't like it.
