Won't happen unless Wilson is willing to spend a lot of money to get him. Which as we already know he isn't willing to do.

REPORT: Bates Turned Down Big Offer From Rams

Word out of St. Louis is that former Packers defensive coordinator Jim Bates turned down the Rams' offer of more than a million dollars a year to coach the defense. The Post-Dispatch says Bates wanted more money.

The Rams announced Wednesday they hired Jim Haslett to be their defensive coordiantor.

The only NFL teams still needing a defensive coordinator are Houston and Buffalo, and with Dick Jauron now coaching the Bills, he's expected to be in charge of the defense.

Unless Buffalo is willing to give Bates over $1 million a year(probably like $1.5 million a year) you can kiss Bates good bye.

Ralph is cheap, so Bates will not be coming to Buffalo.

Houston is going to hire someone else. So, where will Bates go? If the Texans fill their spot, the Bills would be the only one in the market for Bates. They would be able to get him for $1 million a year, IMO.

If Bates decides to go to Houston, oh well. He'll waste away trying to fix one of the worst defenses in the league. Hopefully he goes to Buffalo which has plenty of talent on the defensive side of the ball.

Bates needs to wake the hell up or he will be sitting with no paycheck this year. It's the raiders or us, Houston has passed on him.

I think he would sit the year out then take a cheap offer. He is looking for big bucks and a lot of power. If he doesn't get it this year, he will wait to try and get it next year.

How the hell will sitting a year out help him get a job that pays a lot of money?
