I can understand the votes for Apple.
It's all conditional on how much he will sign for and length of contract.
Same with Perine and Hurst.
If those two guys want to get paid like top RBs and TEs no way.
I agree with what someone previously posted about CJ and letting him walk for wanting too much.

I picked Bell but if money wasn’t an issue I would have said Bates.
It has to be one of those two because you don’t want to lose both of your starting safeties.
Realistically I hope they can sign Bell, Hurst and Perine.
I can see Apple coming back on a team friendly deal but I think Pratt and Bates will be out of the Bengals’ price range.

My prediction is Bates signs a large contract with a desperate team and, due to his lack of game changing plays on a consistent basis, never makes it through to the end of that contract. Then many on hear will talk about how he's available and we should sign him back to the team.
