Especially since they really want CJGJ back and just gave Bradberry a $38M contract with $20M in guarantees.
It stuns me that Gardner Johnson is still in play there, he's far and away the best safety available. [Reply]

The Eagles want to keep him but apparently his market is really strong and they're not sure they can afford him.
The funny thing is, the team that's being talked about the most is the Bengals. I just can't see them letting Bates walk because they can't afford him and then replacing him with a guy who will be even more expensive. [Reply]

I don't know. He flashed vs. us in both games last season, iirc. Made some good plays. He's not elite, but he's not a bust, imo. Put him on a decent team with a good QB and he might flourish. [Reply]
