Bates - No Intentions Reporting to Camp or Play on Tag

And as much as I like Dax Hill, we have no guarantee he will be any good.  At least not in his rookie season.  We are a legit Super Bowl contender this year.  We can't take that for granted. We need Jessie back there this year.  Even if we could work out a sign-and-trade there is no way I would do it for draft picks.  We need players NOW.

Yep. Few actually do like Bell.

I think they lose a credit for a year of service if they do.

The Bengals can't extend him at this point anyways. I'd imagine he's mad at the team.
