BTW Wasn't Bates the one that missed what should have been a relatively routine tackle of Kupp along the sideline on a third down to force a punt? IF I remember correctly OBJ later scored on that drive. An elite Safety makes that play in the SB every time. 

Then what do you replace him with?  A draft pick?  It's highly unlikely that a rookie will come in and handle his responsibilities anywhere near as well as he has.  Then what?  A free agent?  How much do you pay trying to replace him and is the value worth the likely drop-off?  

Idk.  I hate the idea of a 15 mil safety, but out of all of the impending FAs, he's easily the hardest to replace.
