Ryan Bates News
The Chicago Bears acquired offensive lineman Ryan Bates from the Buffalo Bills on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL draft in April. The trade will become official on March 13, pending a physical. Bates played in all 17 regular-season games last year in his fifth year in Buffalo but didn't start any contests while serving as offensive-line depth. The former Penn State Nittany Lion will now head to the Windy City, where he'll most likely serve as more offensive-line depth for the Bears in 2024. The 27-year-old has appeared in 73 regular-season games (19 starts) in his five years in the NFL to this point, all with the Bills.
The Buffalo Bills will match the restricted free-agent offer sheet for offensive tackle Ryan Bates, according to general manager Brandon Beane. Bates will receive a four-year deal from Buffalo. The 25-year-old signed an offer sheet from the Chicago Bears last week, but the Bills decided to match the offer in order to keep him around in 2022 and beyond. Bates has considerable upside for Buffalo's offensive line, but he's made only four starts in 41 games in his three seasons with the Bills.
