‘NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported the deal is worth $6 million with $5 million of that guaranteed.’

‘I’m excited about it, and I think more than anything, I talked to John Murphy about it earlier, when it comes down to it, as eloquently as I can put it, I haven’t exhausted myself in the pursuit of what my dream is of playing this game, of playing for this organization, and chasing being a champion. Buffalo is home. It’s where I want to be, it’s where I want to win, and I couldn’t be more excited.’

‘Lotulelei, 28, has spent the last five seasons with the Carolina Panthers after being taken with the 14th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. In his five seasons with the Panthers, Lotulelei has racked up 88 tackles, 11.5 sacks, and has two forced fumbles in 75 career starts.’

‘Bush is a 7-year veteran in the NFL. The 30-year old has played 76 games in his career, starting 18 of those. Bush has experience playing his natural postilion safety as well as cornerback and special teams. He came into the league in 2010 as an undrafted free agent on the Falcons practice squad. Bush has carved out a nice career since spending time with the Broncos, Lions, and Saints.’

‘Here’s how it works: The Bills simply needed to submit a contract offer, also known as a “tender,” to that player for the minimum one-year salary for how many accrued years he will have in the league in 2018. According to the report, that’s exactly what they’ve done for all four players. The player doesn’t even have to sign that offer. It simply has to be formally submitted to him for the Bills to retain his rights through next season. Then no other team has any available avenues to sign that player to a contract or even an offer sheet.’

‘Second, it is another indication that the Bills have done all these moves gaining draft capital, to ultimately move up for a top tier quarterback. Some reports have linked the Bills to Josh Rosen, some have to Sam Darnold, some have to Josh Allen. At this point, your guess is probably as good as anyone’s on who they’re targeting. Everyone should be able to agree they’re trying to get one of these top quarterbacks.’

‘I’m not here to stress you out about what’s to come in the next few weeks; I’m here to guide your thoughts about the type of quarterback the Bills should target if they’re prepared to go “all in.”’

‘Glenn, 28, dealt with a lingering foot injury over the past two seasons, playing in only 17 games in those two years. Glenn has had both of those seasons end on injured reserve.’

‘Because if there’s one thing the Bills’ GM has made abundantly clear to everyone now, it’s that he will do whatever it takes to get where he wants to be in late April.’

‘What separates Taylor from the rest, is that he might have been good enough to build around a little more. Instead, he was almost always viewed as a short-term answer. Taylor’s 2015 was as promising a season that a Bills quarterback had from start to finish since…. who knows when.’

‘I can’t tell you how happy I am with what Beane did here. He got an asset back for Taylor whom the Bills wanted to move on from. He cleared out over $10 million in cap space which will come in handy when the free agent signing period opens on Wednesday. Most important, Beane has more draft capital with two picks in each of the first three rounds for a total of six picks in the top 100. Hello trade up for a quarterback!!!’

‘But here’s what’s going to happen and why I want you to remember how much you love each other and are all on the same team: Tyrod Taylor will make you think, re-think, overthink, talk in circles and fight over just how good he is, and isn’t.’

‘Taylor finishes his career in Buffalo being carried off the field in a playoff game in Jacksonville. In 42 starts, his record was 22-20. He also compiled over 10,000 total yards, 65 touchdowns, 16 interceptions, and a playoff appearance. Nathan Peterman now stands as the only quarterback on the Bills roster.’

‘He also did it without having to pay that $6 million, and at the same time clearing over $10 million in salary cap space for 2018.’

‘Unlike Davis and even Ivory, Odighizuwa will likely be brought in mostly for depth purposes behind defensive end starters Jerry Hughes and Shaq Lawson, as well as backups Eddie Yarbrough, Ryan Davis and Cap Capi.’
