I never said he shouldn't get paid. Bates has been average to slightly above average the last 2 years and if someone gives him top 3 money they won't be getting that type of player. 

Bates is good but the amount of money he wants is not something the Bengals should give him. I don't think the Williams deal is probably that much different than what the Bengals offered Bates, but he wants more and more guaranteed.

Williams is making 14mil per vs say 17-19mil like Jamal Adams, Derwin James, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. All who are far more significant game changers compared to Bates.
