‘With Cleveland out of the running when free agency started on Wednesday afternoon, McCarron landed with the only team that seemed to have a vacancy for a starting quarterback. Nathan Peterman, who made one start as a rookie in 2017, is the only quarterback on Buffalo’s roster.’

Bills finally make a move for a quarterback, sign AJ McCarron to two-year deal
‘For McCarron, it’s his first chance to be a starter in the NFL. Selected in the fifth round of the 2014 draft out of Alabama, McCarron spent the first four years of his career backing up Andy Dalton. In that four-year window, he made three regular-season starts and one playoff start in place of Dalton. He played well enough in those outings that he’s often been pegged as a potential starting-caliber quarterback. Including the postseason, McCarron’s gone 109 of 174 (62.6 percent) for 1,132 yards, seven touchdowns, three picks, and an 87.6 passer rating. So, he’s still largely unproven.’

I’ve done it for so long. The place means so much to me. I don’t want to do it anywhere else.”‘
Bills sign AJ McCarron
‘McCarron has three career regular season starts, and has played in eleven games since entering the league as a fifth round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014. In those games he completed 64.7% of his passes for 920 yards, 6 touchdowns and two interceptions.’

‘So, the Bills came calling, and McCarron — likely sensing that there was at least a chance that he could start some games in Buffalo while keeping the seat warm for the young rookie quarterback, decided to make it a partnership. However, this shouldn’t worry you in the slightest if you were hoping for the big swing from GM Brandon Beane and company.’
Buffalo Bills agree to terms with pass rusher Trent Murphy on 3-year deal
‘Some have wondered if this signing means the Bills would do away with Jerry Hughes, but a league source told me that this signing has no bearing on Hughes’ status with the team. He remains the starter at right defensive end going up against the opponent’s left tackles.’
