If he played like he did in the Postseason all year him and his agent would have a point.
I would be very concerned now if he even signed the contract we offered.
He was a favorite of mine, I called for us to Draft him in multiple mock drafts before we did in the 3rd round.
We took him in the 2nd and he was better right out of the bat at tackling than I thought he would be, but then his sophomore
year was a bit of a let down and then last year where he was so distracted by something a pro shouldn't be distracted with...
Just play football man.
This. Spellchecked it for you too Synric.
I dont really disagree, Im not for overpaying Bates whatsoever. But the guaranteed portion was very, very low. He is going to play, his barber says to expect him very soon (and yes Im being totally honest about this...lol).
