The Chicago Bears are close to learning if they’ll have a new offensive lineman on the roster in Buffalo Bills restricted free agent Ryan Bates.
Bates signed his offer sheet from the Bears on March 24, which gave the Bills five days to match Chicago’s offer. Buffalo offered Bates an original round tender of $2.4 million.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said the team is still working through a decision about whether to match the Bears’ offer sheet. But the deadline is Tuesday, which means we’ll soon have an answer.
