This is what happens when talks come to re-signing players. You're not willing to re-sign a player before you even know what he's demanding? You don't like him. 

I've said I have 0 problem with signing Williams, but I'd prefer to keep Bell over him. In his short time here he's proved to be the equal player and superior leader to Bates...But I'm sure JuJu Smith-Schuster would prefer we keep Bates instead of Bell in the AFC North

That was 6 years ago things have changed since then. Comparing  salaries from then to now is just plain silly. 

Bates and Bell are the best safety  tandem bin the league  their is zero reason to break them up. I think  both should  get major extensions this season.
