Mark Gaughan’s Bills Mailbag: Trade down from No. 9 could be attractive
‘Even though Denver signed Joe Flacco, do you think John Elway is hitching his wagon to the 34-year-old for the next three years? He could take Missouri’s Drew Lock. I do not see Cincinnati, at No. 11, going for a QB, even though most fans look at Andy Dalton and say he’s not the long-term solution. With a new head coach, Zac Taylor, the Bengals are not easy to predict. But the people I’ve talked to in the league like a linebacker more than a QB for the Bengals.’

Losing for Levy: How throwing game led to Buffalo Bills hiring HOF coach
‘“There were a lot of older players who didn’t care for Coach Bullough at all,” Wolford told Moran. “And literally, you know, we were playing Tampa my first year and they knew that if we lost to Tampa he was getting fired. Again, I’m just a young kid who’s naive and taking this all in second, third hand. But we literally had players before the game and at half time saying, “If you make a tackle, if you catch the ball, if you play any good I’ll kill you.” And we went out and lost the game. We lost the game on purpose and sure enough Coach Bullough was fired and Marv Levy was hired. And really that was all she wrote. You put the combo of Bill Polian and Marv Levy together and magic happened.”’
