Trey Hendrickson Update

KC 's attempts to replace Orlando Brown at LT really put the Bates situation in perspective, though.  

Well one year evaluation of a rookie is not concrete, also they did trade Thuney so my guess is they are going to kick Kingsley to guard but he did struggle last year as a rookie.  As for Bates, it was a very 50/50 decision to sign a big contract or let him go, i don;t think it helped Bates that he actually played worse his last two years vs first two year.  So in someways maybe same thinking as KC but opposite, why give Bates a larger contract when he regressed vs taking a chance on a rookie and using $$ that they saved on Bates say for Burrow extension..
