I actually like the move. This is just another sign in the long line of signs since the end of last season that the Bengals are finally changing the way they do things. Iloka was average to slightly above average as a FS. He has not been playing well in the preseason and Bates has. Cut the expensive veteran, and earmark those funds for Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins. I do wish they had explored a trade to a team hungry for a S though....or held him a bit longer to see if some other team needed a S after the 3rd preseason game due to injury. Could have turned that into another OL.
