Jessie Bates Expected to Make $17 Million Per Season, Browns and 49ers Are Potential Suitors

Plenty of teams are interested in the Bengals' star safety.

CINCINNATI — Bengals safety Jessie Bates is expected to sign elsewhere in free agency. 

Atlanta and Cleveland are two possible landing spots. Bates could have a new team in the near future with the legal tampering period set to big on Monday at Noon.

Thew 26-year-old is expected to receive a contract worth at least $17 million per season according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. He also mentioned San Francisco as a potential suitor for Bates. 

"I know teams see a guy such as Bates making it to the market as a rare opportunity to get a guy you can really build around on the free-agent market," Breer wrote. "Accordingly, I think he’ll have plenty of suitors (Cleveland and San Francisco could be in it) and could land a deal somewhere around $17 million per year or so."

The $17 million per year lines up with what league sources have told All Bengals about Bates' asking price. He wants a contract similar to the four-year, $74 million deal Minkah Fitzpatrick received last season.
