I was surprised Uzomah bolted for the Jets, given he seemed very happy here and was making good money. Plus, the team and fan base loved him. But, he booked. Saw his play drop significantly and the Jets are in the throws of yet another QB fiasco. Wonder what he thinks, now?
I kind of view Bates the same way. Thought he liked it here. Then, all the posturing last year kind of surprised me. I saw a bunch of reports stating that Bates has to take care of his family. Well, don’t know how big his family is, or what their lifestyle is like, but 0s of millions of dollars should keep anyone happy for a very long time.
Have this conversation with colleagues all the time who quit to go to another position for more money, and then call me looking to come back. The obvious answer is always “well, the new company is a real PITA to work for”.
The FAs who have signed with the Bengals the last few years seem to love it here. Apparently, Bates doesn’t see that.
