The Buffalo Bills traded one of their four selections in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, sending pick No. 144 to the Chicago Bears. In return, the Bears gave the Bills a fourth-round choice in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The choice Buffalo sent to Chicago was originally acquired by the Bills in a trade made with those very same Bears earlier this offseason. Buffalo traded offensive lineman Ryan Bates to Chicago to acquire the pick. In this deal, the Bills merely sent that very same pick back to the Windy City in exchange for a future draft choice.
