I find it funny though that people are ok with him leaving after the post season the defense had. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Defenses play went up a couple of notches when Bates play went up. Dude is a modern day Earl Thomas.

At times he's Earl Thomas. For large chunks of the season he's average at best. I think people are scared to overpay and get the average Bates.

But yes...when he's on...he's the best ballhawk in the game and I'd love to keep him.

He does miss tackles too sometimes and did miss one on Kupp.

But, we need offensive lineman more. Maybe we waive Wayne's and give Bates that money.
