Well that sucks, I wonder if he wanted out. He’s a starting caliber player. 

Sucks? We almost lost him to the Bears as a free agent with no compensation, now we move him and get a pick out of it.

It’s almost essentially a fourth round draft, pick considering where Chicago is drafting this year

It's the 9th pick in the 5th & there's always a ton of 4th round comp picks

Maybe he's worth more than that to the Bills,  but in terms of trade value,  I think a high 5th is as good as you could ever expect for a reserve veteran OL with a somewhat pricey contract.

Stuck with Morse now. He can't move a DT an inch and his head is a concussion waiting to happen. Crap.

McGovern can shift to C in a pinch and we could still draft a kid to serve Bates' role.

Whoa! Cap space and a Draft Pick! Niiiiicccceeeee.

 

Chicago only has one pick in Round 5 - 143, Pick 9 in the Round. A valuable one at 14 pts. on the Draft Trade Chart, compared to the two others we have that are worth 10 pts.

And a few 3rd round comp picks.

Picks to move up into the 3rd round or higher.  
 

We aren’t making 11 picks.  

Or flip for picks in the 2025 draft.

Bates was nice depth but that's actually a great move to free up cap and get an early 5th round pick in return. 

 

 

Thats the biggest issue when you play cap games, which the Bills will be doing. Depth gets thinner.

 

Bills were extremely lucky health wise on the OL last year. It won’t happen again.

He has always been a backup. I think Bills fans think he is worth more than he actually is.
