Commanders TE John Bates talks to the media following his contract extension
Today, John Bates, fresh off of a new haircut, spoke with the Washington sports media after signing his 3-year extension, unofficially reported to be worth $21m.
Not unexpectedly, Bates said that he had wanted to stay in Washington and added that he is “thrilled for his family” and himself.
He, of course, trotted out the “super excited” description for Adam Peters’ early free agency moves.
John Bates was drafted in the same year as Sam Cosmi, and he spoke to how nice it is for both of them to be under contract together.
