‘“I feel like they want to get more of a veteran presence in there,” Quinn said. “At this point, (Peterman) feels like he could probably compete and try to play and he’s not that same type of mentor and a guy who’s seen it all, done it all.

Buffalo Bills sign veteran QB Derek Anderson to back up Josh Allen
‘”He’s got a good outlook on the game from an offensive standpoint and understands defenses,” McDermott said. “So there’s just a lot of value to it for where we are right now in terms of that quarterback room and two young quarterbacks that have been in that room. I think highly of Derek, having been around Derek in Carolina and how he not only played, but also was a primary backup for us and helped Cam in his learning curve as well.
