This has never been a situation that got personal in anyway. That does happen from time to time and it makes it very difficult to keep a malcontent on the roster. But Bates has never said anything bad about the Bengals and none of our players or coaches seem to have any problems with Bates.
I think he will play well for us this year, but I doubt he will be re-signed next year. That was kind of clear when we drafted Hill, Taylor-Britt and Anderson.
Yep. The writing is in the wall with the way the draft unfolded, and Jessie still wants to make his money. He'll be all in this season to maximize his value on the open market next year, while being a great mentor for the young DB's.
