But decided I better look that up and apparently we did sign Awuzie to a 3 year deal. After 2 games that's looking like a steal. But I really would've liked to get the Bates deal done this year and in a way that frees up money for later. It's early but we might have something special with this defense and it would nice to keep it together.

The following DBs are under contract for 2022:
Waynes ($16 mill)
Bell ($7.5 mill)
Awuzie ($7.35 mill)
Hilton ($5 mill)
Wilson ($2.62 mill)

They'll basically have their whole set of starters aside from Bates.
If they can get Bates re-signed, they could easily move on from Waynes and get a cheaper FA CB or draft one (there are some in Rd 1 that I really like).

They also are expected to have $60+ mill in cap space next year, so I'm not too concerned with being able to sign someone like Bates and/or getting a good vet OL.
