I assume he leaves as well. I'm still not as down on him as some. I think he plays that center field spot as well as any safety in the league. H's ability to cover the deep part of the field and limit big plays gives the defense more flexibility.
I know the team has some tough decisions ahead, but I'm dreading the possible departure of 2 starting safeties in the near future.
I kinda doubt this theory, I believe Bates issue is much more about guaranteed money than salary..... if it wasn't you would be dead on with this.
