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

Also Bates is not playing for free; it's $13 MIL against the Cap. We could turn that into Landon Collins and an interior lineman such as Ereck Flowers. And of course this is assuming Bates is only bluffing when he says he won't play under the tag.

So really how much worse is this team with Landon Collins, Ereck Flowers, more playing opportunities for Dax than it is with an unhappy Jesse Bates? 

I agree with most of this but see Collins as more of an the box safety. Idk agree 13 million could be used wisely to shore up 2 or 3 starters and solid back ups. We have talent so now and Bates admitted he was not all
in to win in 2021 which to me is unforgivable.

I would love to see a trade for a 2nd and 4th round pick in 2023 and use his salary to upgrade with one year deals for 3 guys.
Flowers
Bring Larry O. back
Vet safety like Collins (Hill replace Bates)
