But I do agree Bates needs to get more consistent in his tackling and not have those games like the Browns games.
Get that shit outta here. Wrap up.
Gotta remember that Bates came out as a redshirt sophomore from Wake Forest. One of his biggest knocks was his tackling. It will probably get better, but you also shouldn't be depending on your safety to make a bunch of tackles.
This is Bates third season and he's up for an extension after this season. The Bengals will need to start negotiating and prepare themselves to dish out some big bucks for Bates.
Here's the top 10 safety salaries for 2020:
- 1. Cardinals safety Budda Baker: $14.75 million
- 2. Bears safety Eddie Jackson: $14.6 million
- 3. Titans safety Kevin Byard: $14.1 million
- 4. Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu: $14 million
- 4. Redskins safety Landon Collins: $14 million
- 6. Patriots safety Devin McCourty: $11.5 million
- 7. Broncos safety Justin Simmons: $11.4 million
- 7. Vikings safety Anthony Harris: $11.4 million
- 9. Broncos safety Kareem Jackson: $11 million
- 10. Raiders safety LaMarcus Joyner: $10.5 million
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
