Wrong Safety was cut, but this front office was never mistaken for one that knows what they are doing. We are suddenly very weak at the position with a bunch of unknowns and a player who never earned his stripes before he mistakenly got extended, and can't stay healthy.

Exactly, this is the hamster on the wheel team. Five years from now, we will reset again and 'go younger' and Bates will leave via FA or be cut. I have zero faith this team can properly manage a roster. They can draft but they cannot effectively build a cohesive and consistent team. They are all over the map with overpaying some and letting good ones and either not developing or playing too early. Just not consistent enough overall in this area.
