Buffalo Bills received Lerentee McCray from Green Bay…

The Exchange

On 2016-08-30, Buffalo Bills received Lerentee McCray, while Green Bay Packers received 2018 7th round pick (239th overall, Hunter Bradley). The exchange is evaluated by the regular-season service and draft outcomes each club actually received from those assets. Later movement matters only when it directly clarifies what became of the original return, keeping the comparison tied to this transaction. Buffalo Bills Return Buffalo received Lerentee McCray and used him for one season in reserve and special-teams work. The Bills received immediate roster depth but only a short tenure. The C grade reflects the size, duration, and usefulness of that return relative to what Buffalo Bills surrendered. The assessment gives credit for documented football value rather than for hypothetical value the asset might have produced elsewhere. Green Bay Packers Return Green Bay received the future seventh-round choice that became Hunter Bradley. Bradley served as the Packers long snapper across four seasons, creating a longer stretch of dependable specialist value. The B- grade applies the same standard to Green Bay Packers, focusing on the service or draft result the club actually obtained. That keeps the comparison proportional to the original cost and the relatively limited scope of the transaction. Value in Hindsight Both assets were modest, but Green Bay's return lasted significantly longer. McCray gave Buffalo one season of depth, while Bradley filled a specialist role for several seasons. That difference supports a narrow Packers win rather than a large grade gap. Hindsight here does not require either side to have acquired a star. The deciding question is which club converted its incoming asset or assets into the stronger supported football return, while keeping the grade gap consistent with the scale of the deal. Final Verdict The final call is Green Bay Packers Win. Buffalo Bills earns C, and Green Bay Packers earns B-. Those grades reflect the documented package, the playing time or draft value that followed, and the relative durability of each club's return. For a minor transaction, the evidence supports that result without overstating the long-term importance of the exchange.
