Why the **** is Jessie Bates not signed yet?

[grampahol]

I'm thinking neither Bates nor his agent have read up on playing hardball with Mike Brown. If they had they wouldn't be playing this game. I won't be too surprised if the reports are right and he doesn't intend to play under the tag Mike decides to trade him to a dead last place team for a high pick in next years draft ala Carson Palmer.. Don't think some lousy team isn't willing to trade a high pick for him.. Dumb trades are made every season..
