He mentioned a dollar value can be placed on his work on the field, but not on his locker room presence, which Burrow clearly holds in high regard. If Bates were traded because of money it would not play well in the locker room. Nor with Burrow.
Even the players who have been very vocal about supporting Jessie, like Hilton, Reader, etc...have all said they also understand it's a business.
