I know people won't like that take, but I really think they didn't sign Bates because they knew they had to pay Tee...then they weren't going to sign Tee because they knew they had to pay Joe/Chase to ridiculously expensive contracts. 

I've been beating the Bates drum since I had to watch him ball out all season (NFC South viewing area). Ts, I just think that they undervalued him and though that they could easily replace him. Add in that he played his college ball at Wake and the move back to the SE was an easy one for him.

Tee's contract situation may have been in the back of some minds when Bates contract should have been in the front!

Rams D was supposed to suck after Donald retired; it didn't. They got better through the draft and are now set for another run.
