While on that list, Bates will have a roster exemption for up to two weeks, though he can be activated at any time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Bates, 25, opted not to sign his franchise tag and report for the start of training camp on July 25 with the rest of his teammates due to failed contract negotiations with the franchise.  The Bengals&#8217; front office, ahead of training camp, said they expected Bates to play with the team this season despite his lack of desire to play on the franchise tag amount of nearly $13 million.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Jessie Bates<\/strong>JWill: How Cincinnati Bengals avoid Jessie Bates&#8217; absence being distraction<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Bengals defensive backs preview:<\/strong>What does Jessie Bates&#8217; status mean for Dax Hill?<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The return of Bates ahead of Cincinnati&#8217;s practices against the Los Angeles Rams is significant as the two joint practices are being used as a dress rehearsal for the starters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">How the Cincinnati Bengals and Jessie Bates got to this point<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Bengals thought they gave their second-round pick a fair contract extension offer in the 2021 offseason.  Bates, who fired his first agent and hired the highly touted David Mulugheta of Athletes First, to negotiate his second contract, turned the deal down.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Bates opted to participate in the team&#8217;s voluntary offseason program and all of training camp despite not reaching a long-term deal with his team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The 2021 season started slow for Bates from a production standpoint.  He admitted, towards the end of the season, the contract extension process impacted his play but he caught his stride when it mattered most in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cI feel like I&#8217;m at a better head space now than I was at the beginning of the season,\u201d Bates said in November.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_anc\" id=\"gnt_atomsnc\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadAnc\" aria-label=\"Newsletter signup form\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Bates was arguably Cincinnati&#8217;s best player on defense in the playoffs.  In the four postseason games, Bates recorded 20 tackles and two interceptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Following the Super Bowl 56 loss the Los Angeles Rams, Bates spoke publicly about his displeasure to play the 2022 season on the franchise tag if the Bengals were to apply it on him.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_fo__bet-best\" aria-label=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"comment\"><!--@pre<iframe class=gnt_em_fo_if src=\"\/tangfrag\/sports\/gaming\/bet-best?prm-embedded&prm-teamid=1033&prm-gnteamid=20&prm-league=NFL#fhp-assetid=65415463007\" loading=lazy sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms\" title=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\"><\/iframe>--><\/aside>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After not being able to get an extension done in the weeks following, Cincinnati placed the franchise tag on Bates in early March in hopes to give themselves more time to work out a long-term deal and to prevent him from hitting the open market.  The next important deadline in the process was July 15. NFL teams had until July 15 to sign their franchise tagged players to multiyear contracts.  The Bengals tried again with Bates&#8217; representation and their final offer was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1547997848167260161?s=20&amp;t=-EBvzdv6E_-mVWuGncmusg\" data-t-l=\":b|e|inline click|${u}\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly<\/a> $4 million more than what he would make on the franchise tag, which is $12.9 million, bringing the total to $17 million.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Why the Jessie Bates, the Cincinnati Bengals stopped contract negotiations<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">By not being able to agree on a contract extension by the deadline, the Bengals and Bates were required to stop the negotiation process until after the 2022 regular season is over.  Bengals owner Mike Brown spoke about the contract negotiation process with Bates describing it as a \u201cpuzzle\u201d and saying sometimes the team is going to lose players they want to keep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;It just doesn&#8217;t all fit perfectly,\u201d Brown said at the Bengals&#8217; media luncheon. \u201cWe&#8217;re going to have some pluses. We&#8217;re going to get some guys signed that are critical to the team. And we&#8217;re going to lose some guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Bengals have several young offensive players who have major contract extensions looming, including quarterback Joe Burrow.  Cincinnati&#8217;s front office set a number they were comfortable spending on Bates and he and his representation are n&#8217;t satisfied.  Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick reset the safety market this summer when he signed a four-year deal worth $73.6 million contract and $36 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It was unlikely, based off Bates&#8217; comments about not wanting to play on the tag, that he would show up for the start of training camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Bates opted not to report for training camp and trained on his own away from the team.  He made a surprising appearance at Cincinnati&#8217;s first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals but didn&#8217;t return to practice the following week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">His return to the team&#8217;s facility is certainly a boost for the Bengals on the field and in the locker room as he is one of the most respected players on the team.  Bates was a team captain for the Bengals in 2021. The Bengals begin joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday and will play their final preseason game on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates reported to the team&#8217;s facility on Tuesday morning, according to a source.
