'"First and foremost, I’m a Tyrod Taylor fan," he said. "I understand that the question here is more about dollars, and cap dollars, than it is about whether or not he’s a capable quarterback. We started out this whole conversation today talking about the dearth of quarterbacks in the NFL, and he’s a capable quarterback."'

'Capable depth in the secondary can be tough to find, and White gave the Bills some decent performances in 2016 at a bargain price. If he's willing to come back again on a one-year deal for close to the veteran minimum, the Bills should bring him back. He's also a contributor on special teams, which helps boost his value.'

'"It's automatic," said Jackson. "It has to be as a Buffalo Bill. You know, I owe those guys everything. The fan base has by far stuck behind me the most. And still talk to me now. That's not to take anything from anybody. But the Bills Mafia is who has made me who I am today. I love playing for those guys. As long as I can go sign that one day contract and retire as a Buffalo Bill. If they're going to have me, I'd definitely love to do that."'

'The analytics site noted Stills' ability to track the deep ball.'

'In a sampling of 11 mock drafts from some of the most reputable NFL Draft analysts, five have the Bills selecting Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. With uncertainty surrounding the future of quarterback Tyrod Taylor, seven of these 11 mock drafts had the Bills picking a quarterback with North Carolina's Mitch Trubkisky also a possibility.'

'"I think they've got a great coach," said Jackson. "You know, one who knows what they want to do. I'm sure they are all putting in a plan of what it is they want to get accomplished right now. The next two months is going to determine what he wants to do. I know they've got the whole Tyrod thing going on. I like Tyrod. I like what he brings to the table. But again that's not my decision to make."'

'Buffalo does not have a fourth round selection this year due to trading up with Chicago last season for Reggie Ragland. Their seventh round pick was sent to Dallas in the Matt Cassel trade two seasons ago in exchange for the additional fifth-round pick they acquired.'
