Report: Free Agent OL Ryan Bates to Sign Bears Offer Sheet

According to OverTheCap, the Bills are already $25,000 over the 2022 salary cap threshold, so if the Bears really want Bates, they could’ve offered him a front-loaded offer sheet to make it difficult for the Bills to match.

Bates initially joined the league as an undrafted free agent with the Eagles in 2019, but a few months after signing with Philadelphia he was traded to Buffalo. He appeared in eight games as a rookie, but played in all 16 games for the Bills in 2020, and all 17 in 2021. Bates made his first career start in Week 4 as an extra eligible tackle, but then started at right guard in Week 16, before finishing as the team’s starting left guard from Week 17 through the postseason.

Whether or not the Bears land Bates, Poles has shown he’s not done adding to the Bears OL unit. The team has already signed Lucas Patrick and Dakota Dozier, and opted to let James Daniels leave in free agency. Last week, Patrick revealed , not guard, so the team still needs to find Daniels’ replacement at right guard. It’s still unclear whether Poles wants to move forward with Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom at the tackle positions, too.
