He has literally said he wants to stay in Cincinnati...

I get being upset about the off-season and I get not thinking the team is going to make a huge jump (I'm still in the 6 to 7 win camp myself) but saying stuff like that is kinda anti-Bengal talk. If you are a fan of the team I'd have hoped by now you read some of the stuff posted around with quotes from Bates about wanting to be here. 

There is probably a lot of contract language to figure out with guaranteed money, years, front load versus back-loaded, bonuses for different things like All-Pro and Pro-Bowl. 

If we hit week 1 or 2 and don't have a deal, that's more concerning but even then they have the franchise tag.
