‘This is actually a brilliant tactic by McCoy and that’s mainly because Incognito has made it pretty clear this offseason that he was upset by the fact that the Bills asked him to take a pay cut. Not only did he fire his agent (THROUGH TWITTER), but he flat out told MMQB’s Peter King that he would consider returning for the “right price.”‘

‘If the tweet is legit and Incognito is truly moving on from Athletes First, that’s an odd way to approach that decision. The tweet itself is quite a rollercoaster as well. Incognito started off with a strong Trump-esque “you are fired!” before wishing the company well, and then closing out with a peace sign emoji. What a ride!’

‘Jones, who’s headed into his second season with the Bills, also seems to be in good shape with the team that selected him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. At the NFL Owners meeting earlier this week, Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the team’s plan is to keep Jones.’

‘In an Instagram post, Kelly’s wife, Jill, thanked the doctors and nurses and noted that her husband is entering a “very significant time of recovery.”‘

‘Jones was arrested and transported to a nearby medical center to be evaluated and treated for injuries. After Jones was released, Los Angeles prosecutors elected to drop the felony vandalism charges against him due to “insufficient evidence” in the case.’

‘Witnesses on the scene told TMZ that Cayleb kept Zay from seriously harming himself. Cayleb seemed to acknowledge that Wednesday, when he sent out the tweet below.’

‘Police told NFL.com that Jones broke a window and a glass door at a residential building in downtown Los Angeles. As of Tuesday night, he is in custody while also getting treated for injuries, police said. Bail was set at $20,000, according to ESPN’s Mike Rodak.’

‘”The truth? Most of these quarterbacks I’ve only spent 15 minutes with,” Beane said, per Peter King of The MMQB. “I haven’t spent enough time to have an opinion about any of them yet, honestly. I actually sent a little note to our [scouts] yesterday. We got six weeks to get our board together. I am not there yet, knowing if we can or will move up again. I want Sean to get to know all of them. We’re just keeping an open mind. Where we’re at, we’ve got the picks, we’ve got the draft capital. I’m not ready to pull the trigger.”‘

‘”This guy has an edge to him. He’s been backing up Andy Dalton who’s their franchise guy. He filled in I believe four games, should’ve won a playoff game, had an unfortunate fumble, but they were down 15-0 I believe in the fourth and he brought them back, made a big throw to AJ Green. We watched every throw of his and what he did and thought he did some real good things. Thought he’s got upside and that’s what he’ll do.”’

‘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.’

‘Lotulelei will be joined on the interior of McDermott’s 4-3 defense by the Bills’ all-time leader in sacks for a defensive tackle: Kyle Williams. Williams has played his entire 11-year career with the Bills, notching 43.5 sacks. The Bills themselves refer to him as the defense’s “heart and soul,” and they aren’t wrong.’

‘This is one of those trades where both sides are definitely going to come away happy. The Bills had been looking to unload Glenn and the Bengals were in desperate need of an upgrade at the offensive tackle position.’

‘For the Bills, that draft pick is ammunition they’ll need as they try to work their way up the draft order to select their new franchise quarterback. As it stands, they now own two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and two third-round picks. They might have a hard time drafting a top quarterback at No. 21 or No. 22, but they can use those assortment of picks to trade up and take a quarterback in a top-heavy class, which is what La Canfora expects them to do.’

‘”I think the worst and most frustrating thing about the whole situation was, when I got to Buffalo, I was still dealing with the things that I had to get surgery on,” Matthews said. “But I had two really bad diagnoses on the knee and the ankle, so going into the trade, I thought they were both things that were going to heal on their own. But once I got around Buffalo’s doctors, they got me in touch with the right people and then I got really good feedback.”‘

‘But any concerns that Kelly might cancel in light of recent developments were immediately put to rest by the quarterback himself. “I go, ‘Hey, I’m not dead. If I can still go, I’m going,'” Kelly told the crowd, according to the Buffalo News’s Vic Carucci.’
