The Cincinnati Bengals’ cheap habits are still in place in 2022. The low-ball offer of safety Jesse Bates leaves the door open for North Asian rivals to reclaim the crown.
Friday afternoon was the deadline for players who earned the franchise to sign extensions before next season.
Any player who is unable to reach terms on a new deal with his organization will enter the 2022 season on a team friendly deal, and will return to the negotiating table in another off-season. Cincinnati Bengals and Safety Jesse Bates She is one example of exactly this scenario. According to Matt Verderame of FanSided, this negotiation or lack of it could mean future trouble in Cincinnati. On Monday, Verderame wrote this in Stacking The Box:
Instead, Bengal made a humiliating offer. The tagged player and his team usually start negotiations centering around what the two tags will guarantee. In this case, Bates will get $28.5 million across these destinations this year and next. Any offer less than that is not a start. Cincinnati is barely halfway through.
It’s not so unusual for Bates to sign an extension immediately after his rookie contract. Teams, after all, tend to keep control of a good player on the cheap by putting a franchise tag or two on them. Chiefs and left deal with Orlando Brown Jr. She is a good example of that. However, unlike the Bengals with the Bates, Chiefs from Brown made a competitive bid. One that awarded him three Pro Bowls in a row, and allowed the team to express a desire to keep him in town. The Bengal team slapped their Safe Star in the face.
After weathering the storm playing for the Bengals from 2018-20 and helping lead Cincinnati to their first Super Bowl appearance in more than 30 years, Bates should have secured a respectable show. However, the Bengals’ final bid for Bates was reported to have reached a A total of $17 million guaranteed over five years.
The Bengals offer safety to star, Jessie Bates, below the average AAV contract after leading the defense to the Super Bowl last season.
Bates, over the past four seasons, has started all 63 games he’s played, made 10 interceptions, defended 35 passes, forced fumble twice, and led to 408 total tackles. This show sets the Bengals perspective on Jessie Bates, based on annual value, between likes Hooker owner (Dallas) and Eric Murray (Houston). All of them have played a lot less and produced a lot less stats when compared to the Bates.
If the Bengals run out well this season, and the organization is not prepared to adjust its stance on paying talented players, no one will want to stay in Cincinnati for the long term. The magic of the Bengals’ 2021 season could have been remembered as a small torch, which was extinguished before it had a chance to burn.
