Infam Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Yeah it‘s probably too much. Day two pick, working out a huge deal (Spotrac: 5/75M). But he was the top rated safety at PFF and he is 25. Like A.J. Brown the Eagles are more likely to pay for young guys. But for a safety? The Eagles? Probably not, not even if it‘s the biggest hole on the roster remaining. A trade for someone like Clark seems way more realistic. All that said: If we waited until mid June and get some fresh cap and we did use it on Bates, that would be the biggest upgrade we could go for and further cements our contender status.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 He's still not signed with the Bengals so I guess there's a chance. I think we could afford him in terms of cap space with a little clever manipulation but I guess he may be too much to trade for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesfan0075 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Too bad the Bengals don't have a need for Andre Dillard or Jalen Reagor 😄 Bates will cost at least a 2nd round pick in a trade if not a 1st. I can't see the team doing a trade for a 1st but maybe for a 2nd? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikepargo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Nothing is happening right now. They have until mid-July to make a deal work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Shiznit Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Can’t afford to give away future draft picks, not with a need at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it‘s a second.. we‘d still have double first round picks. And he is 25, so it still counts as building for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who knows maybe just maybe Hurts does show real improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infam Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 21 hours ago, Godfather said: Any news on his contract with Cincy? Report: Talks between Jessie Bates, Bengals remain at standstill with deadline approaching (msn.com) Quote Bates has not signed the $12.91 million tag and skipped the team’s offseason program, and a recent report indicated Bates has no intentions of playing out this year under the tag. Thus, Bates could remain at home later this month when the Bengals begin training camp. Earlier this week, Bates tweeted for the first time since March. "Stay down. Stay grounded,” he wrote.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Franchised by Cincy so there you go that does for that option. Though I thought he was going to end up being too pricey anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
