'Cadet excels at catching the ball out of the backfield. He had 40 receptions for the Saints last season and 38 in 2014. In 2015, Cadet signed with the New England Patriots, but was released after one game. He had a four-game stop with the San Francisco 49ers before returning to New Orleans.'

'He will start at safety, next to a fellow newcomer at the position, Micah Hyde. The 6-foot, 190-pound Poyer provides a great deal of athleticism and is a hard hitter. Poyer also can contribute as a punt returner.'

'Hokies coach Buzz Williams called up Matt Worswick this week when Virginia Tech got tabbed to play its NCAA Tournament games in Buffalo. Worswick was a team manager when Williams was coach of Marquette, and new Bills coach Sean McDermott has hired Worswick as his assistant.'

'Cash Realty & Auctions is conducting an online-only auction of the 8-foot "bar sized" pool table, complete with team logos and colors. "This is a MUST HAVE for any fanatics out there!" the listing proclaims.'

'Hauschka has missed only seven kicks inside 40 yards, and from 40 and beyond he is a superb 68 of 89, including 16 of 24 outside the 50.'

'No one in the history of college football has caught more passes than Jones did during his four years at East Carolina, 399 in all, including a single-season record 158 in 2016.'

'At 6-feet-5-inches tall, Holmes is a definite red-zone threat. The Bills lost Justin Hunter, who signed with the Steelers on Wednesday, and Holmes has a similar skill set. While he wouldn't be an imposing threat opposite No. 1 wide receiver Sammy Watkins, Holmes definitely has enough talent to contribute if the Bills went down that route.'

'Despite his outstanding season with the Bills, there wasn't much talk about Brown returning to Buffalo. One day before the start of free agency, Brown suggested that he wouldn't be returning to the Bills.'

'Davis would be a dream scenario for the Bills, who don't have much at wide receiver outside of Sammy Watkins. After losing Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin in fre agency, the Bills' wide receiver depth chart consists of Philly Davis, Kolby Listenbee, Dez Lewis, Walt Powell and Jeremy Butler. If either Davis or Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams are on the board, the Bills will have a hard time passing on that type of talent.'

'Will that keep quarterback off the Buffalo’s radar? Here’s how free agency has affected the mock latest mock drafts…'.

'He will receive a $1.5 million signing bonus and workout bonuses of $50,000 each season. His 2017 salary is fully guaranteed. He can earn up to $750,000 in incentives each season and has base salary escalators based on playing time.'

'Graziano tweeted shortly after Holmes denied his report, expressing his regret in the premature report.'
