I was actually just thinking about this scenario before the news broke that he wanted to be traded. I saw an article that alleged that many players from Miami wanted to be traded out. He was the 1st one that popped in my mind.
I don't know about a 1st, however a 2nd or 3rd or even a conditional 3rd would easily have me making the swap. To sweeten the deal I would throw in a player... B.W. Webb or Shawn Williams are 2 that come to mind.
The issues are that he wants to play CB. Many see him as a Safety. As a Safety he would rather play FS and not SS. With Bates playing FS, would Fitz be willing to continue playing SS? Can Bates transition to SS? Could they both be swapped out, and play SS or FS, depending on the play?
I will say on paper though, Bates and Fitzpatrick is more appealing than Bates and Williams. If we could keep Williams and send Webb, then I would be even more intrigued. Of course that is on paper.
