Gates Signs

Gates signs a 6-year deal with the Chargers -- other terms are not disclosed. Based on previous posts discussing Gates wanting a short-term deal and the Chargers wanting a long-term deal, does this mean the Bolts stance was successful?

Is he still going to have to sit out the first game of the season?

Yes. The NFL said Gates's agent is full of BS and that there is no procedure to bypass the 3-game rule. Of course anything can happen, but it looks like he is done until week 2.

He's one of my keepers in fantasy football -- oh well, with this behind him, I'll just plug him in week 2 and hope he picks up where he left off.

No, but the speculation is that the Chargers got everything they wanted, and the only thing he got that he wanted was more than $380,000 for this year...
