I hope the 2 sides come to an agreement or they allow Bates to seek a trade. I don't want him anymore on the franchise tag, long term or let him walk in my opinion.

But again, I hope we sign him t a 5 year deal that makes bth sides happy.

I'd be happy with letting him play on the tag this year and then reevaluating the situation/tag him again next year. He can play himself into the deal he want's or the deal the Bengals want. Just let Jessie prove it or lose it this year.

If they do lose Bates though, they better be damn sure the retain guys like Higgins/Chase.
