I want Logan Wilson to stay... Same goes for Higgins, Chase and Burrow. Jonah's gonna come calling soon enough too. How are we gonna pay long term top dollar for a safety?
I like Bates... I really do. But he was the best player on an atrocious defense in 2020. Is he the best player on that side of the ball still?
Wilson has to stay, this is a great question and not something we were discussing before the season cause Bates hasn't
been great this year, Wilson has, Hendrickson has, Reader, Ogunjobi, Awuzie have been great. Think Bates will start to
making some great plays as the year goes on but his dollar amount has gone down which is good for us. But if Bates is
still wanting that top Safety money after this season he is kidding himself. Pay the man around 10 mil a year is what he
deserves, other than that, sad to say we will have to let him go after the Franchise tag.
We know who we are saving up for.
