They aren't about to pay 17+ to a WR and 13+ to a guard. The issue is they still have to fill another 20 or so roster spots and as much as people like to dream these scenarios up, money goes quick when you have to actually pay your rookie draft class (about 10 million) and pay depth (figure an average of about 1-1.5 mil conservatively).
That also assumes you want Bates to play the last year out of his contract on his rookie deal which isn't a good idea. You are better off getting him re-signed now before Simmons gets his deal done.
