'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.'

'Taylor's agent, Adisa Bakari, had what the quarterback described as "casual" conversations with teams interested in his client's services during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. The Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and New York Jets were known to have had Taylor on their respective radars.'

'If he joined the Rams, Groy would be reunited with Aaron Kromer, the team's new offensive line coach who guided the Bills' offensive line the past two seasons. Kromer also was offensive coordinator of the Bears during Groy's rookie year.'

'“I want to give credit to this entire organization,” McDermott said even before the bulk of the transactions took place the other day, a classic company line if ever there was one. “When you look at the number of players we’ve been able to sign early in this process, that doesn’t happen by itself.”'

'It's possible that the Bills are simply looking to add another running back in the event that they lose Gillislee to another team.'

'Taylor may have gotten a commitment from the Bills, but it's not the most reassuring of commitments. Taylor still has to prove himself before a better option comes along for the Bills.'

'During his time with the Vikings, Harvin began having issues with migraines. It was a problem that plagued him for the rest of his career. In addition to problems with migraines, Harvin also dealt with hip injuries in his career.'

'The 6-foot-3 receiver joins a receiver group which includes Sammy Watkins, Kolby Listenbee, Walt Powell, Philly Brown, and 2016 practice squad player Dez Lewis.'

'Taylor’s restructured contract has a cap hit of $9.7 million for this season, down from approximately $16 million in the original option. In 2018 under the new contract, Taylor’s cap hit doubles to approximately $18 million.'

'The Bills retained the rights to Groy by extending him a one-year contract tender last week. ESPN.com reported the Rams made Groy a two-year, $5 million offer, with $3.5 million guaranteed.'

'It suggests Taylor thought his options were limited with other teams, especially in terms of getting a deal better than the restructured contract he signed with the Bills.'

'Harvin, 28, originally announced his retirement last spring following an injury-plagued 2015 season. He came back in November to make two catches for 6 yards in two appearances (one start) before migraine headaches led to the Bills placing him on the non-football illness list.'
