Bates Overrated?
#62
Just don't like tagging players like Bates or Higgins. Imo it's a d*** move to a player that has proven their worth in a game where careers are very short and you've got to strike gold while the irons hot. I believe tagging Bates cost him slightly already, he would have raked in FA last year and he deserved it as well.

Either you can afford to pay them or not. If you know it's not, then trade them the year before a get some return and spend their contract money in FA to compensate the loss. It's actually a win/win for both team and player and much more honorable imo.

If you can pay him ? Then do it and let's move forward.

Bringing back someone you will have to tag to just keep is only beneficial to the team and usually does not sit well with player. The player may decide to play to not get hurt or they could even feign an injury if they're really upset. It's almost like a hostage situation albeit with much more monetary compensation involved.

Love Bates, Higgins, and Mixon, yet think Burrow, Chase, Hubbard, Reader, Logan, Awuzie and shoring up the O-line are much harder to replace. All 3 would be amongst this list if not for high contracts and playing positions more easily replaced in draft imo.

Hell I wish they could just wrap this team up in plastic and roll with same players for years to come but the cap will not allow this unfortunately
