Everyone knew Bates was gone after the Bengals drafted Hall. Bringing in players such as Orlando Brown costs money.
And don't disrespect Higgins and Bates by placing them in Chase's class. Each of them balked "slightly" at getting franchised. Jamar has 2-years left on his contract.
If this happens next year, I'm right there with you. But for now I can see ABSOLUTELY nothing to blame the Bengal's FO for IRT the Chase situation..
And when Ja'Marr puts up 1300+ yards and the salary cap jumps 20m Chase's price tag per year goes up and the years to spread it out goes down.
Jessie Bate's situation was similar I believe. Before his 4th rookie season he was asking for 14m aav Bsngals offered him 12... well he had a solid year balled out in the playoffs the salary cap jumped and his price went up to 16m aav.
