The average NFL career is pretty short and why wouldn't Bates want to cash in while he can?
Look at what happened to Earl Thomas who held out, then finally caved in and played and was rewarded with a season ending broken leg.
I like Bates, was high on him right after the team drafted him, but the team will eventually have to part with some good players if they plan to sign all the offense players they've drafted.
Not mad at the guy for over valuing himself.. Also not wanting to pay him more than hes worth just cause he values himself at that moment.
13 mil seems enough to play 1 season on if he wanted a better deal he should have gave 100% all year
