Signs franchise tag Bates signed his franchise tag with the Bengals on Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bates reported to training camp Tuesday for the first time this season and signed his $12.9 million franchise tag for 2022. The 2018 second-round pick had his worst statistical season last year, but he bounced back in the playoffs, recording more pass defenses (six) and interceptions (two) than he'd had during the regular season. He's played a prominent role in Cincinnati's secondary since he was drafted and should once again be on fantasy radars in IDP leagues.

Reports to team Bates has reported to the Bengals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Absent from camp after receiving the franchise tag this offseason, Bates is ready to sign the tag and play out 2022 on a $12.9 million salary. He'd get a deal for more than that per season on the open market, but the Bengals can tag him again next spring at a salary of around $15.5 million. Bates had his worst statistical season last year, but he bounced back and then some in the playoffs, recording more pass defenses (six) and interceptions (two) than he'd had during the entire regular season. He started his career with three straight years of 100-plus tackles and exactly three interceptions, dropping to 88 tackles and one pick in 15 regular-season appearances last year.
