‘Kelly was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in 2013, and a year later contracted MRSA his bones, shortly after having been declared cancer-free. He had a portion of his jaw removed after the initial diagnosis, but the cancer returned in 2014. He underwent chemotherapy and radiation at that time, and was again diagnosed as cancer-free in September 2014. He then had a brief scare in 2016, but a biopsy came back negative. A little more than a year and a half later, the cancer has one again returned.’

‘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).’

‘So it stands to reason that not only will the Bills target a wide receiver this offseason, Bryant’s name could still be at the top of that list. But according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, the Steelers aren’t interested in trading Bryant because 6-4 receivers who can run 4.4 40s aren’t exactly easy to come by, even if they are occasionally mercurial.’

‘Until Buffalo has its next franchise quarterback lined up, Taylor will stay put — even if that means paying him a $6 million roster bonus with no real intention of keeping him on said roster. Taylor is due $6 million on the third day of the league year, which is March 17. He’s also due $10 million in 2018 but this assumes he’s not released or traded.’

‘That seems unlikely to happen again. The Bills can save nearly $10 million against the cap by cutting Taylor this offseason, and they can save $15 million by designating him a post-June 1 release, according to Spotrac. With the Bills likely wanting to get an extended look at Nathan Peterman next year, they likely don’t want to keep Taylor on hand with a double-digit million dollar cap hit. So it’s restructure or release. And Taylor is not willing to restructure again.’

‘It was reported early on Friday that an offensive player for the Bills had suffered an injury, but Wood was requesting not to be identified. In 2017, Wood signed a three-year, $25.8 million contract. Ryan Groy, who has been with the Bills since 2015, is expected to be the next starter at center.’

‘Three, the Bills making an aggressive play for Daboll, who would’ve been a strong candidate to take over the vacant offensive coordinator position should Josh McDaniels end up departing New England, is pretty spicy. The Bills fired Rick Dennison after just a single season recently, and hiring a candidate to fill the role for the Patriots is a missile fired in the direction of the Pats. It’s a bold(ish) move by Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane and one that could simultaneously help the Bills and hurt the Patriots.’

‘Beane is right. The good news is that the team made the playoffs for the first time since 1999 and things appear to be headed in the right direction. A big part of that involves finding a quarterback and pairing him with the right offensive coordinator.’

‘Obviously it’s not OK for Incognito to use any sort of racial slurs, but with Dawkins coming out publicly and getting his back, it is certainly a he-said, he-said situation unfolding.’

‘Immediately after the Jaguars’ three-and-out, the Bills went to work, embarking upon an 18-play, 71-yard drive that ate up over eight minutes of game clock and ended with a field goal. They should’ve gotten more.’

‘It was a heck of a play — although anyone holding a Jags -8.5 or Jags -9 ticket was hoping Ramsey was taking the ball to the house — but it certainly looked like the ball hit the ground as Ramsey was rolling around. There was certainly nothing definite about it, but based on what we’ve seen all year, Ramsey did not appear to “survive the ground.”‘

‘Coach Cowher, during “The NFL Today” (the best pregame show on television, catch it before Titans-Patriots, Sat., Jan. 13 at 7:15 p.m. ET and then before Jaguars-Steelers on Sun., Jan. 14 at noon ET), lined up a gigantic wooden folding table and, alongside James Brown and the rest of the gang, proceeded — in full suit! — to smash that bad boy.’

‘Mahomes looks like he’s dripping with potential, but right now it looks like a pretty solid haul for Buffalo. They would probably like to have at least one pick that’s higher, but picking in the 20s means they had a good a season. Which they did, making the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.’

‘”The good thing is that it wasn’t as bad as I thought,” he said, via ABC 7 WKBW in Buffalo. We’ve just been treating it after I got back from the game. It’s been feeling a lot better. I’m out of the boot and I can walk around without any pain, so that’s a plus.”‘

‘Jaguars 20 Bills 12.’
