Now, ANOTHER reporter predicts Bengals to sign Bates

I'm sorry, but if you want to be considered one of the best FS in the league you need to have more than 5 in 3 years. If he's truly siting back playing centerfield, he should have 5 interceptions every year.  Please don't pay him unless he wants middle tier money. For every big play he makes, he misses 2. Just my 2 cents. I'm sure some will disagree.

Not going to disagree with you Mer. Need to keep Vonn Bell and see what we have in Daxton Hill at FS or even move CTB to FS
who can be a ballhawk and clearly has the build to play Safety. I think Bates played pretty well on the season and here and there
made some great plays, but in the AFCC he made some bad ones that cost us.

Bates will be paid like a top 5 Safety, he has the range for that pay, but so does Dax and Dax is a better tackler at least when 
looking at the 2 players coming into the NFL from college. Also, CTB playing so well as a rookie should really push Dax.
