I don't blame Bates for wanting the big bucks. Hell, I'd do exactly the same thing I were his age with his talents, but that doesn't mean I would expect to actually get paid what he wants.. Want in one hand, sh*t in the other and see what you get..
I'd love to keep Bates, but not for top safety money when we have other superstars to pay. Bell makes a whole lot more sense for a nice pay raise, but I doubt he pushes it to the extremes like Bates is doing..
In the meantime sign Adeniji to a twenty year guaranteed multi-hundreds of millions of dollars and call it a day..
What? You don't think he's worth at least $900,000,000 to play like a $1.50 player?
