Only Burrow is more important to Bengals than Bates

NFL Network's James Palmer explained on "Good Morning Football" earlier this week that he believes safety Jessie Bates "is the most important person to the Cincinnati Bengals after Joe Burrow."

"The (Bengals) change so much what they do defensively throughout the week, from week to week, but also throughout the game," Palmer said. "And the biggest part of that is how you communicate on the field. He's the guy who sees everything. He's the unquestioned leader of this defense. ... Off the field I think he might even be more important. He's one of the best safeties in football. He's got 10 picks in four years in his career."

"I do think they should pay Jessie Bates. I think he's vitally important," GMFB's Mike Robinson added.
