Bates will come up on the negative side sitting out the season. It will take a long while to make up for that $12M he’d miss. So much for taking care of his family, as he’s reportedly wanting to do.
Does anyone think he’ll get a significantly better contract by sitting out a year? He’ll be considered “difficult to work with” by doing so. What team will overpay for that?
I'd venture to say when Bell sat out, he was a much bigger name than Bates is right now, and it did not work out for Bell. Jesse needs new advisors.
