The $13 mil FT represents elite level APY.  Bates has been elite only one of his four years in the league.  That's basically a 25% chance at a reasonable return on investment.  

I get that, but it's the Bengals.
They were willing to tag over-the-hill AJ Green for $18.1 mill.

Personally, I'd rather use that $13 mill on a dominant OL or two B-tier guys and then just draft a new FS, but I tried to think like the Bengals might.
