I love Bates but he didnt handle last season well. Sure he played great in playoffs but before that he let this affect his playing.
Bottom line is he can franchised if they don't come to an agreement and he can't do a thing about it. Is he gonna not play for roughly 13 million? Bengals will let him sit so if his agent is playing hardball, it wont end well for either side.
