daquixers_is_back Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 What is the secret? Is Bates all related to you in some way? The love for him around here is sickening. If he is such a great coordinator, then why isnt the other teams offering him tons of money to come to their team? Why didnt the packers retain him? (such as the Bills did with Jerry Gray when Mularkey came) My goodness ... you would think that he was Vince Tobin with the 1985 Bears or something ... All hail Bates .... and if you dont ... you are thrown into the firey furnace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He decided to auction himself off to the highest bidder, which is looking a little shaky right now. He's the best DC available, but it looks like he's really got his heart set on becoming a HC.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I suspect that he's been pricing himself out of the market. He's guaranteed to make $1.85M over the next 2 years and seems to be saying to teams that either they pay him a premium over that, or he'll sit out the year. The Pack/Rams offered him $1M a year to remain/become their DC and he turned them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
