Yep this.
I am sorry to those who are in love with Bates, but last year he showed he can be distracted by contract issues and then made the idiot move of ADMITTING it publicly. It was UNPROFESSIONAL and our FO would be fools to pay him anything over 13-14 my due to his inconsistency and being unprofessional. The NFL is a business and throwing top 5 money at Bates, AT THIS POINT, is bad business.
Bates needs to man up and play on the tag (which he will). He isn't being treated unfairly. He made his bed and now he has to lie in it.
