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.
That agent isn't going away...in fact we get to deal with him again next year when the Tee Higgins renegotiation begins. David Mulugheta plays hardball and it works out more often than not in his client's favor who get huge up-front "signing" bonuses. That is what Bates is after and it is something the Bengals don't usually do.
All hopes turn to next year
