I expect the 4 safeties to make the roster to be Bates, Bell, Hill, and Thomas.
Hill should still get some defensive reps at safety but also could easily get some slot CB reps spelling Hilton.
Let's just hope that Bates plays very focused and well this season, increasing his value for FA.
So, he turns up after all the others were sweating their nads off in all the previous practices. Nice!
Personally, if he doesn’t play at a Pro Bowl level this season, I’m all for letting him walk. We’ve spent way too many years rooting for the Prima Donnas manning the Bengals roster. He’s just another in a long line of them.
