Ryan Bates is a Bear

[remydat]

Hoping for that needle in a haystack is not what many would call "investing" in the position.

No I think scouting pro players and decided Bates has starter position is investing in the position.

If the scouts are saying Bates has good starter potential then should Poles ignore them in favor of CCS?

In the end you have zero ability to really assess whether Bates is a good starter or not. Poles thinks he can be and the season will dictate whether he is right not how CCS feels about it.

To be fair collectively CCS has been more right than the Bears.

If we bought the team and ran it with polls (after debates and trolling each other of course) it would be a sure win.

they dropped their starter too

clearly they're getting rid of good players cause of the cap. All this Bates hate is kind of overblown tbh

I‘m not sure but you want to bet on McCaskey’s ability to run a team? I’m not sure a minivan full of drunk monkeys couldn’t do better.

We may find it impossible to find 53 players we agree on but could it be any worse?

So why don't we get the guy who beat the guy we got? And we'd still have the 5th.
Not that I care about the 5th, as a versatile backup to hold us over until better is ready I think it's a good trade.

Because he's 31 and more expensive

He’s 32 or 33.

But I kinda wonder if Bates would have been released too

Maybe not. They're converting a guard into a center now.

I think the 5th was too much for them to pass up so they took it. They still have a lot more cap to clear

They were way over the cap. Had t o do it. Chargers too

Doubtful, think he only saved them 700k if cut.

 

[Shepard]

Bills clearly in rebuild mode after trading Bates

 

[Shepard]

Yeah they were keeping Bates.

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Yeah they were keeping Bates.

How do you know that? This saved them 1.4 this year and 5 next from what I read

Saved them more by trading him then. Pole’s could have done this trade for a future 7th as they were desperate to get rid of him. (Unless they were bidding against another team which I haven’t heard of)

dropping both centers and converting a guard to a center, maybe

they didnt save much for trading Bates, but a 5th round rookie wouldn't cost as much either
