Chad Forbes On Jessie Bates III: 'Many Would Be Surprised If Falcons Didn’t Sign' Safety

Bates is heading into free agency this offseason.

CINCINNATI — The Jessie Bates era in Cincinnati looks like it's coming to an end. The safety dined with prominent members of the Atlanta Falcons last week.

On top of that, NFL Draft analyst Chad Forbes added fuel to the growing smoke around Bates to Atlanta.

"Told many would be surprised if Falcons didn’t sign Jessie Bates III," Forbes tweeted. "A GM & new defensive coordinator that have spent heavily on safeties in the past. Falcons also in on Front 4 players."

Bates played with the Bengals on the franchise tag this past season after failing to reach an extension agreement with Cincinnati. The safety has started 79 games across four seasons for the Bengals, producing 14 interceptions in that time.
