‘Morse would address a major need along the Bills’ offensive line. The combination of Russell Bodine and Ryan Groy proved incapable of adequately replacing Eric Wood in 2018, making center a top priority in free agency.’

‘A third-round pick of the Bengals in 2015, his best season in the NFL came in 2017, when he started all 16 games and caught 42 passes (on 62 targets) for 404 yards and seven touchdowns. He has been used more as a blocker in his career than as a receiver. Analytics website Pro Football Focus has charted Kroft taking part in 998 snaps as a blocker (either in the gun game or passing) as opposed to just 677 as a receiver in his four seasons. He’s also been a contributor on special teams, taking 531 snaps there in his first two seasons.’

‘Johnson, a 2015 first-round draft pick of the Texans, has dealt with injuries over the last three years, appearing in just 19 games and making eight starts in that time. He has played in all 16 games just once in his career, as a rookie in 2015. Johnson was released last week by Houston, which elected not to pay his fifth-year option salary of $9.069 million. That was guaranteed for injury only, meaning Johnson has been medically cleared, or else he could not be cut.’

‘Even considering getting into the market for Flowers is interesting from a Buffalo perspective, because it calls into question the future of the Bills’ current top three players at the position – Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy and Shaq Lawson.’
