If the Bills are matching, waiting this long has to be insulting to Bates, no matter what they say in public.
There's no reason for teams to not use the time allowed, just like they would when making a draft pick.

Gives them time to restructure other contracts if necessary. Can tie up the other team's $ for max time which may be a deterrent to teams bidding on lots of FA.

Ike did tear his achillies, so not sure when he is expected to be fully recovered. It could be related to Bates, we will see.

Bears may now have to go OL with the #39 pick and then WR or vice versa. Could have taken one need off the board and concentrated on WR and CB with the first two picks. I sense a trade down.
