I'm not saying Bates would command the trade compensation that Jamal Adams did last year, but I don't think they'd be miles apart either.
The Jets sent: Jamal Adams and a 4th round pick.
The Jets receieved: 1st round pick 2021, 1st round pick 2022, 3rd round pick 2021, and Seattle's starting safety Bradley McDougal
For Bates, I'd want at minimum: A 1st and a legitmately good player we can plug in and start somewhere, or a 1st and a 3rd.
Fwiw, Jamal Adams was in a very similar situation as Bates currently is. Going into 4th year, still on a rookie contract. No long term deal on place. In fact, Seattle still hasn't signed him to an extension. He's playing on a 5th year optiion and is due to become a FA in 2022 if something doesn't get done.
Note: I don't want to trade Bates, but I'm just trying to paint a picture of what I think his market may look like.
