I never saw any report of what the Bengals offered.

What do you think a "fair deal" would have been for Bates?  I say 4 year $56 million.  Make $16 million a signing bonus, and only give him a $4 million salary his first season.  That gives Bates $20 million this year and drops our cap hit to $8 million.

Rumor is 17 mill guarantee. 5 year 85 mill...
