In Ryan Bates, a guard who was forced into starting duty after suffering injuries and illness, the Buffalo Bills discovered an unexpected gem in the late season. Bates ended up keeping the starting job until the playoffs, which was a surprising accomplishment.
Since the Chicago Bears have made an offer that Buffalo may be compelled to decline, the team is now in a precarious position where they could end up losing the restricted free agent who is 25 years old. Since the beginning of free agency, Bates had visited a number of teams that were interested in signing him. He was considered to be one of the most talented young lineman now available, and now the Bills, who are struggling financially, could end up losing him.
ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg and Courtney Cronin reported that the Buffalo Bills had made an offer of $2.4 million in the first round for Bates. This information was obtained from the newspaper. However, he has received a great amount of interest from other organizations, including visits from the Chicago Bears, the Minnesota Vikings, and the New England Patriots who are all interested in signing him. Buffalo has the ability to match any contract offer that Chicago makes for Bates; nevertheless, it is possible that the Bills will not be able to accept the deal that Chicago makes.
Following his signing with Buffalo in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, Bates spent the majority of his time there serving as a backup quarterback. In spite of this, he was given the opportunity to start the final three games of the regular season. This was due to the fact that guards Jon Feliciano and Ike Boettger had acquired injuries. Those from ESPN, Getzenberg and Cronin, pointed out that Bates made the most of the chance that was presented to him.
