JohnNord Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Bills fans were up in arms over the signing yesterday based on some terrible looking film. But if he’s as bad as some believe, there’s a chance he might not even make the final roster. I’m going to wait and see how he transitions

I was basing my earlier opinion on hearing reports that the Bills were prepared to let Bates fight for the starting tackle spot if Williams had not been re-signed. I can’t recall who reported that early on in the offseason, but I do remember thinking it was someone with sources inside One Bills Drive. You are not wrong in your initial assessment. Bates' calling card when we traded for him was his versatility. He has played Tackle decently as well. 1 1
TPS Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Seems pretty straight-forward. The Bills have their starting OTs, they want veteran competition for the swing OT, but they don't have much $$ to spend; and they will most likely take an OT in the draft, but in case it's in R5 or later, they at least have this vet in the mix.

About as scientific as that statement gets, but he thought Hart was too terrible to even be a backup
N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) We acquired a players who has 40+ starts in the league for close to the minimum without any significant guarantees. This is what winning organizations do in advance of the draft. We have our starting five (regardless of how you define the LG position) and backups at all of the positions secured going into the draft. Good bargain signing. Edited March 31, 2021 by N.Y.
