Buffalo Bills received two seventh-round rookies who both made Buffalo's initial 53-man roster: punter Tommy Doman at No. 239 and guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 241. The team earns a C, compared with C for Chicago Bears, and the hindsight verdict is Even Trade. That judgment reflects the concrete team-specific production, role and tenure created by the assets in this deal.
Buffalo Bills Received
- pick 2026 7th round pick (239th overall, Tommy Doman )
- pick 2026 7th round pick (241st overall, Ar'maj Reed-Adams )
Chicago Bears Received
- pick 2026 6th round pick (213th overall, Jordan van den Berg)
Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Buffalo moved the 213th pick in the 2026 draft to Chicago and received picks 239 and 241. Chicago used No. 213 on defensive lineman Jordan van den Berg; Buffalo used its two seventh-rounders on punter Tommy Doman and guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams. Because the trade is only months old, the useful hindsight evidence is roster status and early NFL usage rather than projected career ceilings.
Buffalo Bills Return
Buffalo Bills received two seventh-round rookies who both made Buffalo's initial 53-man roster: punter Tommy Doman at No. 239 and guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 241. The team earns a C, compared with C for Chicago Bears, and the hindsight verdict is Even Trade. That judgment reflects the concrete team-specific production, role and tenure created by the assets in this deal.
Chicago Bears Return
Chicago Bears received sixth-round defensive lineman Jordan van den Berg, who made Chicago's roster and appeared in the 2026 opener without a start. The team earns a C, compared with C for Buffalo Bills, and the hindsight verdict is Even Trade. That judgment reflects the concrete team-specific production, role and tenure created by the assets in this deal.
Value in Hindsight
The early scoreboard is therefore unusually clean. Buffalo has two rookies on the 53; Chicago has one sixth-round rookie who has already appeared in a regular-season game. None of the three has had enough time to establish sustained production, a starting role, or a meaningful career arc. Counting two names as automatically better than one would overstate what has actually happened, while ignoring van den Berg's roster spot and debut would understate Chicago's return.
Final Verdict
This stays an Even Trade at C/C for now. Buffalo successfully turned No. 213 into two rostered players, while Chicago turned the same exchange into a rostered defensive lineman who has already appeared in a game. The outcome can move quickly once the rookies accumulate snaps, but the concrete evidence available through the opening week of 2026 does not yet support declaring either club the winner.
