Even though I do not see the Bengals re-signing Bates, also don't see his play this season warranting as big of contract that he wants. Should still be stout but believe it has dropped some.
It's one of the reasons I don't like tagging players that most likely can't be signed later anyway. It's only a rental where the player plays to not get hurt and it totally screws the player over on a contract if they do get hurt or have a down year.
Thinking Bates was worth more on the market last year than after this season. He was good to us over the years and felt we should have let him get his mula if we had no intentions of signing him.

The water tastes funny when you're far from your home,
yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam.
