‘Incognito has been rumored to be nearing retirement in recent weeks after playing 12 seasons in the NFL with the Rams, Bills and Dolphins. The 34-year-old announced in April he was retiring because he was too stressed, saying his “liver and kidneys are shutting down” as a result, but changed his mind a week later before asking the Bills to release him from his contract.’

NFL Draft 2018: Bills will soon learn if they won long game with new QB Josh Allen
‘McDermott was painfully transparent in his rookie year as coach about how he wanted his own man at the position. The Tyrod Taylor midseason benching fiasco put the Bills in position to miss the playoffs, and he and the team finally cut ties in the offseason with the trade of Taylor to the Browns. The Bills didn’t bite during the free-agency frenzy over Kirk Cousins and Case Keenum, settling on AJ McCarron to “compete” for the job in camp.’
Kyle Williams back with Bills after getting advice from close pal Andrew Whitworth
‘”When it comes down to it, I haven’t really exhausted myself in the pursuit of my dream: That’s being a champion,” said Williams, who turns 35 in June. “Obviously I love being a Buffalo Bill and wearing those colors every Sunday. I’ve done it for so long. The place means so much to me. I don’t want to do it anywhere else.”‘
From tanking to trading to benching, Bills survive themselves, reach playoffs
‘Their only losses post-Peterman decision were to the Patriots. They trailed just 6-3 late in the first half of the game in Buffalo, and Taylor hurt his knee and was out for the fourth quarter. In Foxborough, the game got out of hand after an atrocious overturn of a Kelvin Benjamin touchdown catch.’
If Bills don’t want Tyrod Taylor, it’s their loss and another team’s gain
‘If teams were that smart, a whole lot of them would be camped on Taylor’s doorstep, waiting on the day the Bills either put him on the market or release him. If they could, this late in the season, a bunch of them probably would drive over their own starting quarterbacks with a Humvee in order to get to Taylor.’
Bills on playoff track, but difficult second-half slate could quickly derail them
‘The Bills really have just one “gimme” game left, at home against the Colts in Week 14. They still need to play the Patriots and Dolphins twice, and they go to the Jets on Thursday. They also draw two more division leaders in the Saints and Chiefs. Their other game is a trip to LA to face former offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn’s Chargers.’
