The most sought-after Cincinnati Bengals free agent is likely to be safety Jessie Bates III. And one team may already be putting in the work (without actually putting in the work) in terms of courting him.
Bates recently had dinner with his agent, David Mulugheta, along with A.J. Terrell, Casey Hayward, and Kyle Pitts, all current Atlanta Falcons players who are represented by Mulugheta.
