His overall safety coverage grade ranks 55th percentile. That's not elite. Bates run defense is below average ranking 34th. He's not a good tackler. There zero chance I'd give Bates over 10 m. I would not franchise tag him.
I would tag him and then not match when someone offers and get 2 1sts detriot and philly needs safety help they might bite on it.
