Burrow; Welcome to the Hot Seat

[Frank Booth]

huh... I think I just read a good point on here. If they paid Jessie Bates, Burrow probably wouldve never felt that the organization doesnt pay their guys. Which means he wouldnt have put pressure on the team to sign Higgins. Which means the team would be more balanced overall and have a batter defense

They could have signed Bates earlier but didnt.  I will paraphrase the quote, this years price isn't the same price as last year.  I think everyone remembers that except maybe the Bengals front office.  Exact same thing happened with Chase and Higgins.

Paying players on time is also why the FA classes aren't as good and now that teams understand the cost of waiting, may never be again....
