Who knows how true this is with all the rumors floating around but one thing is for sure his agent has a reputation for being demanding with teams in negotiations, and he will have Bates ear. Thats what doesnt give me much hope with how it all plays out.
It's disappointing because he is a homegrown player here who is young and has alot of great years left in him, but this is the NFL.
So true. Bates is a great guy, I just think he got the wrong agent.
It won't work trying to be demanding with THIS Front Office. They will pay you what you are worth, not much more and
not at the expense of losing any of the other guys we have to pay.
Bates should know this, the agent should know this, but hey I am just glad we drafted Daxton Hill and Tycen Anderson.
They will just be getting more reps if Jessie doesn't show up and be more pro ready sooner.
