How much have the Bengals offered Bates and how much of it was guaranteed? And what is your source.
You keep saying Bates could get a better deal with another team. That means you have to know how much the Bengals offered and how much of it was guaranteed.
What do you not understand Fred?
Contracts are comprised of a few numbers:
Yearly salary
Bonuses
Guaranteed money
The only number reported was the guaranteed portion, which was half of what Minka and Williams received.
My source? I read the report a month ago that was given to the entire world from Petraglia... (geez)
Per @RapSheet, the #Bengals offered Jessie Bates only $4 million more in guaranteed $ over a 5-year extension than his $12.9 million tag. Meaning, roughly $17 million GTD. Compare that to $38 million to J. Adams, $36 million GTD to Fitzpatrick and $35 million to Justin Simmons.
