Huge for us. I killed the pick on draft day. Lol

I am just not a Bates guy. Any word on price?

Not that I can find.

Bates is an above average blocking tight end. Very necessary for success in today’s NFL.

I dont know how you could not “be a Bates guy.”

Lunchpail signing.

Good for him

 

[deanpet21]

good blocking TE with decent hands. Good signing. Looks like the TE room is set for the top 3.

Lots of money committed for a blocking TE

Exactly. Why not just play an extra OT if you want a blocker?

Clearly more important than I give him credit for.

Me too. We have a garbage run game so he must not be too good.

The 11.52 guaranteed isn't too steep imo. I wonder what he has to do to get the other 9.5 mill

For a guy who catches 5 balls per season and is part of a bottom ranked run game? Not so sure I can side with you here.

If the bonus includes a 50 catch season or catching 10 TDs in a season the Skins should be golden. Though I hazard a guess they are in some way tied to snap counts.

Lol, I'll take those 50 catches from Bates. Better yet, I'll take those 50 catches from Sinnott as well.

Better Sinnott than Bates. I won't be mad at Bates though if he hits it.
