But the team has an option for 2024 so I don't see them moving on from him any sooner than that. As far as Bates we'll just have to wait and see what happens. My concern is another Whitworth situation where we draft the heir apparent only to find out there not capable of performing the job at a starters level. So we end up with a defense that struggles in the back end making life easy on opposing QBs and wasting years of Burrow and Chase because we can't out score teams every week. But that's a worry for another day.
Well I meant when Mixon's contract is up we let him leave, I didn't mean cut the guy.
Also, there is no way I could see Dax Hill being an Ogbuehi type pick in the future. I think he could be better than Bates on
down the road, he already is a better tackler. If anything, we might improve when Jessie leaves and it wouldn't surprise me.
