Report: Guaranteed Money Big Reason Why Bengals Won't Sign Jessie Bates to Extension

The Bengals and Bates aren't going to come to an agreement before Friday's 4 p.m. deadline.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals aren't expected to sign Jessie Bates to a long-term deal by Friday's 4 p.m. ET deadline and guaranteed money could be a big reason why. 

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network is reporting that the Bengals offered Bates just $4 million more in guaranteed money than he is set to get on the franchise tag ($12.91 million). 

That means Cincinnati offered Bates a four-year extension with roughly $17 million guaranteed. 

The star safety has no intentions of reporting to training camp according to Josina Anderson. He also doesn't plan on playing the 2022 season on the franchise tag. 

He doesn't have much of a choice, unless the Bengals trade him. The Bates saga was supposed to end after Friday's deadline, but this might just be the beginning. 

A total of $4 million. Not $4 million per year. https://t.co/Mcgne13x7J
