‘Before he was released, Davis said he felt disrespected when the Colts left him behind.

Pro Bowler Vontae Davis agrees to deal with Bills after visiting multiple teams
‘After struggling in 2016, Davis played in only five games last season due to his injury and due to his situation with the Colts. If the 29-year-old can revert back to his 2015 form, the Bills could have one of the most dangerous secondaries in the NFL in 2018, and that’s mainly because Davis will be joining a unit that already includes Tre’Davious White (CB), Jordan Poyer (FS) and Micah Hyde (SS).’
Bills sign cornerback Vontae Davis
‘The Davis signing likely means the end to E.J. Gaines, who will be a free agent in a few weeks. Gaines had a very good season and could be asking for a hefty salary. Davis comes in as a cheaper option, and a 1-year deal which doesn’t tie the Bills up with another long term contract.’

Free Agent Focus: Offensive line offers plenty of talent
‘Their left tackle, Cordy Glenn, spent more time watching than playing last season because of chronic ankle and foot problems. Their right tackle, Jordan Mills, is a serviceable bridge starter until someone better comes along. Center Eric Wood is being forced into retirement by a neck injury. Other than Richie Incognito, who is entering his 12th season, the situation at guard is less than encouraging.’
Buffalo Bills kicked tires on Martavis Bryant trade last season (report)
‘The Steelers still seem willing to listen to offers on Bryant. The Bills still have two second-round picks and a third-round pick to work with if they felt compelled to make a move.
