|BlackJesus| Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Either way, I do not share the view of "same old Bengals" by them doing the tag. It is smart and the only real leverage that teams have. The Bengals can't afford to overpay just so the national media will write a few good stories about them "not being cheap" and then end up losing someone like Higgins because they used up all the money. Your foundational pieces that you pay whatever it takes for are Burrow and Chase. All other players need to come at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try to find Lapham's later. He was surely on the team when it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he did not want to be tagged. I am not sure what the holdup is. The guys on the locked on Bengals podcast seem to think it's nothing other than signing bonus is guaranteed which is how the Bengals always do their contracts, they are speculating that Bates wants more guaranteed.

Bates has said publicly he does not need to be the highest paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 With the Chiefs tagging Brown this will mean Honey Badger is free to test the market that may help set the price for Jessie to hopefully get a deal done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is going to have to do more on the guarantee side of contrcats once JB's contrcat time comes upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should seriously consider it. Jake Liscow made the point that while the guarantees are not there they virtually guarantee in that they rarely cut guys before their bonus money is paid out anyway. I feel like just sign Jessie give him his signing bonus and guarantee his salary for the first 3 years in writing, he's basically going to get that anyway so just do it if only to make him feel good about signing.

I like Bates over Mathieu. Bates hasn't had the injury issues Mathieu has. Concussions are no joke and I wouldn't want Mathieu long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I 100% agree, I'm just saying Mathieu will help set the market for safeties for this year which might help establish a price for Bates is all.

Should be interesting. Mathieu is quite a bit older than Bates and has had some injury issues. This would be his 4th team if he leaves KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
