No doubt, he will be spendy but worth it. Dude is a great teammate too and defends Burrow like all our OL but Spain is 
pretty intimidating with his size. BEAST, PAY THE BEAST QUINTON SPAIN!!!

I think Bates is still a key part of the team.  Kind of like how I view Chase.  One reason that TD pass to Higgins was there was because the safety was cheating over to Chase.  Like Burrow said:  "I'm going to go where the defense tells me".  Well, I think PFF doesn't know Bates' assignment or fully understand how rarely he is tested.  He has always been a solid tackler (supposedly his big knock coming out of college) and he is so damn smart back there.  

He is younger than Burrow!  

I think Bates and Spain will be key off-season signings.
