Why the **** is Jessie Bates not signed yet?

I think people got hung up on that one sky high PFF grade he got, and he's been overhyped ever since. Good player, but inconsistent, and I don't think losing him will break this defense.

I'd be hesitant to break the bank over the guy. Plus he's rubbed me the wrong way with how he's behaved over his contract status. Saying it affected him last year. Not signing the tag this year. Ugh.

I agree draft his replacement( Dax Hill or Kerby Joseph) and let him walk or trade him to somebody.
