Even with Bates coming back we would have needed to add 2 additional interior lineman. Don't think it has anything to do with him.
Still need a swing tackle too unless they really think Doyle is ready.
It's one thing to trade for him.
But giving a guy facing 22 civil lawsuits and a definite suspension, who hasn't played in a year, a pay raise and a FULLY GUARANTEED $250M contract is absolute insanity.
Ian R. saying Rodgers knew this was happening when he decided to go back to the packers. So he was on board.
Dude is probably gonna just coast the next three years, collect that $150M and then retire.
