E.J. Gaines came to Buffalo as part of the Sammy Watkins trade. He had been drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the sixth round, pick 188 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft. As Buffalo’s defense was substantially better with Gaines than it was when he missed time due to injury, he figures to be a priority target for the Bills to lock up before he leaves for greener pa$ture$.
The question becomes what sort of contract Gaines can get on the open market and whether or not the Bills want to match it.
