'The sides can continue to work on a potential long-term deal.'

'We all want to know who the starting quarterback is going to be against Indianapolis or maybe we want to know who’s the front runner. Ryan just isn’t going to give up that information right now, “All the guys and you can throw Tuel in there, but I’m being realistic, the three top guys in my opinion, you don’t know how it’s going to shake out. We might predict this or predict that and if you polled everybody, there’s nobody that’s going to be lined up exactly, so let’s let it shake out. I feel good about the three guys, but by the time we end it, there’ll be a clear guy at number one.”'

'The option being picked up means the cornerback will be guaranteed just north of $11 million once the 2016 league year begins. The team and Gilmore can also negotiate a long-term agreement to keep him in Buffalo. With players like Marcell Dareus, Nigel Bradham, and Cordy Glenn all entering the final year of their deals, that would be the ideal situation for the Bills to keep Gilmore and lower his cap number to free up money to sign others.'

'Petty threw for 3,855 yards with 29 touchdown passes and five rushing touchdowns. Petty and the Baylor Bears lost the Goodyear Cotton Bowl 42-41 to Michigan State. Petty had 550 yards and three touchdown passes in that contest.'

'“They all got reps,” said Ryan. “(Jeff) Tuel is probably the only one, he probably got a little bit shortchanged, but he did get a number of reps as well. But the top three were getting the exact same number of reps. Jeff (Tuel), he got plenty of reps, but it wasn’t the exact number those guys had.'

'“Because we’ve drafted so well (our attention) turns to our own players,” said Whaley on the John Murphy Show in the wake of their busy signing period in March. “Marcell Dareus, Cordy Glenn, Nigel Bradham, Stephon Gilmore, they will be our free agency next year.”'

'Ryan has said more than once that the quarterback competition will be balanced in its approach as the offensive staff makes a concerted effort to rotate the four QBs on the roster through in an effort to provide equal snaps. Still, there will be an order by which the signal callers rotate through. Who will be first, second, third and fourth on Tuesday, and will that order change on Wednesday and Thursday?'
