You tell Jessie Bates that you are going to take the path that puts the most talent around him to give him the experience of his first NFL winning season and hopefully a postseason run.
That is over $7-8m/yr over those two years that you can put towards FA OL instead.
He can either force the issue, get paid, and be a loser... Or he can still make generational money (roughly $13m over two years), get on board as a team player, and be a winner.
If he still wants A, then maybe he isn't the type of guy you want around long term anyway.
If it was a video game I would agree with you but we're living in the real world with real human emotion. If you want to piss off a player (and the team around him) don't pay the guy that has worked his ass off and made himself one of the best players in the league.
