‘The signing is unlikely to change the Bills’ apparent plans to draft a quarterback next month. Buffalo owns the Nos. 12 and 21 overall picks, as well as two selections in each of the second and third rounds. The Bills could package those picks to trade up for one of the draft’s top quarterbacks.’

‘The deal is worth $21 million, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.’

‘However, Boldin’s agent sent a letter to Bills general manager Brandon Beane in October asking for permission to speak to other teams to discuss a trade. No team traded for Boldin before the NFL’s trade deadline, and Beane decided he would not release Boldin’s rights.’

‘The Bills allowed a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns and an AFC-worst 1,487 rush yards after trading Marcell Dareus in Week 8 last season, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Of those yards, 1,105 were inside the tackles, and opponents’ 4.8 yards per rush inside the tackles was tied for worst in the NFL.’

‘Without Glenn, the Bills are expected to start 2017 second-round pick Dion Dawkins at left tackle. Dawkins started 11 games last season as a rookie in place of Glenn.’

‘The Browns were interested in Taylor a year ago, but he agreed to stay in Buffalo with a new contract just before the start of free agency. If he starts the opener, he will be the 29th starting quarterback for the Browns since 1999.’

‘The deal has a base value of $5.5 million and a maximum value of $6 million, a source confirmed to ESPN. Ivory, who turns 30 on March 22, will be guaranteed $3.25 million. NFL Network first reported his compensation.’

‘The surgery, which will take place later this month in New York City, will involve taking part of Kelly’s fibula and blood vessels from his leg. Kelly told WGRZ that the procedure will improve his quality of life, but it is unclear whether Kelly will also undergo radiation and chemotherapy treatments.’

‘Kelly’s daughter, Erin Kelly-Bean, and his wife, Jill, posted messages to Instagram on Thursday.’

‘”Tyrod is a good player,” McDermott said. “At this point in the process, I’ve learned being around this league around 20 years, it’s way too early to take anything off the table, other than cutting him at this point, which is not in our plans.”‘

‘Before he was released, Davis said he felt disrespected when the Colts left him behind. He said he hadn’t played well in 2017 because he was still dealing with the groin injury he suffered against Pittsburgh in the third preseason game, which caused him to miss the first three weeks of the regular season.’

‘”So a lot of [Bills players] just didn’t understand or know the impact that it had on the business, the organization and the community — good or bad. So I do think there’s definitely an impact. I wouldn’t shy away from it at all. I think there is a common ground. I think a lot of it is more about communicating and learning from each other on both sides and coming to some type of a compromise at some point. Sometimes you won’t be able to come to a compromise. But something usually gets done when that happens.”‘

‘In his letter, Williams reiterated that he felt Landry’s hit was unnecessary but that he has “no ill will” toward Landry, who later apologized.’

‘”We don’t have any cap room right now,” Beane said. “You roll it over [into the next season]. He’ll be on our roster for a while, until we figure things out.”‘

‘Wood tweeted that he was initially diagnosed with the injury in his season-ending physical and that team doctor Andrew Cappuccino and other physicians said he will not be cleared to play football, regardless of whether he undergoes surgery or other treatment.’
