Get it done, Mike.
Right. It is now August. Since Bengals never talk contracts once season starts, it is Now or Never. Do Mike Brown and Bengals even know how stupid they would be not to keep Bates Motel. He is the best young Safety in the NFL. Finally a draft pick that has panned out. He is still on his rookie signing contract, but common sense that no team can keep him at starting rookie pay. It is time to give him a veteran contract and lock him in a few years. I don't even want to hear Franchise Tag because that is even more stupid. Players hate it and one more reason for him to leave. Bates is somebody they should want on the team many years.
Mike Brown, stop being as CHEAP as you always are, and get the best young defensive safety in the NFL signed long term. Build a good team around Joe Burrow, and that means keeping young Defensive Star Bates.
