It seems like Bates is the better option, Marvin knows it, and they made a move to save money and give playing time to the better player. I like the move. It's so un-Bengals like.

In my opinion, I think this is a Marvin move. The Bengals have been making some against the grain moves lately (trading for Glenn, etc) and this is kind of par for the course. I think Marvin has more control over his roster and you're starting to see moves being made that reflect that.

I think there may be some ulterior motive as well. I can see them using the money saved to improve the team elsewhere.

If he gets that clock management thing under control, we'll be in business.
