Two Bills Drive

'One of Mills' biggest supporters was Aaron Kromer, the team's former offensive line coach who is now with the L.A. Rams. While it's unclear what the new coaching staff, including offensive line coach Juan Castillo, thinks about Mills, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team try and upgrade at the position. If Mills is willing to come back on a cheap, one-year contract, he would provide solid depth up front. If he's looking for a longer deal with starting money, however, it's time for him to move on.'

'McDermott’s input carries substantial weight, because what the Bills do with the quarterback’s contract extension will reveal whether he feels the urgency to try to win now or build long-term. His ability to keep something as big as that under wraps is telling about the new way business is being conducted at One Bills Drive.'

'"The feeling here is that Clemson's Watson is the first quarterback taken in the draft, to the Bills at No. 10 overall. It could also be North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky, but we're giving the edge to Watson. The Bills are reluctant to pay Tyrod Taylor $18 million per year, so he's likely to play elsewhere in 2017. Some in the organization believe Cardale Jones could start, but Watson has a better body of work."'

'The Buffalo Bills recently received good news on quarterback Tyrod Taylor according to a report. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday that Taylor has been medically cleared from groin surgery.'

'With that, here’s a third look around the NFL mock draft scene ahead of April’s draft…'.

'At this point, the only certainty on the Bills quarterback depth chart is that 2016 fourth-round pick Cardale Jones will be in the mix in one form or another in 2017.'

'Buffalo has a decision to make on Taylor and his contract for the upcoming season. The Bills have until March 11 to decide whether or not to exercise the contract extension he signed during training camp, which would kick in the remaining five years of the deal.'

'With less than three weeks until that deadline, reports can be expected with increased frequency. One of those came Tuesday morning from one of the league's most plugged-in reporters, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.'

'He won't come with a big price tag, so keeping Bryant on a short-term, low-money deal should be a priority.'

'Gilmore allowed 60.3 percent of passes thrown his way to be caught this past season for 15.6 yards per catch, and while he has often been seen as a shutdown corner for the Bills, he has allowed 16 touchdowns over his career, and 12 over the past three seasons. The lack of other true No. 1 options will likely still see Gilmore's value pushed up because of the ceiling he has shown at times."'

'Jefferson, 25, made 14 starts in 2016 with the Arizona Cardinals. He registered 96 total tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles and five passes defensed. Jefferson would be a great fit in Sean McDermott's defense, but Buffalo's ability to add a top safety in free agency will come down to cap space.'

'"For Tyrod Taylor, who some people assume is gone from Buffalo, this is pretty good news," Rapoport said. "This was the quarterbacks coach in Baltimore when Tyrod Taylor was the back up to Joe Flacco in Baltimore, so there's a lot of familiarity here. It would make no sense if the Bills hired Rick Dennison and then get rid of Tyrod Taylor, one of the reasons he signed there."'

'On Good Morning Football, Rapoport said the Bills are an unlikely landing spot for Tony Romo while adding “from my understanding, it’s probably a better chance they keep Tyrod now than actually cutting him.”'

'I really don't know what's going on with this. I'd like to think it's possible Whaley is telling different reporters different things, just to have fun with them, but I don't think he's quite swift enough for that. Maybe it's always been decided, decided since Miami came back and won here in Week 16, decided since Oakland came back and won from 24-9. Maybe it's not been decided. Maybe their third choice for offensive coordinator (at least) will decide whether the Bills will pay Taylor 30 million dollars, or more.'

'Here’s a look at where each of the team’s in the top 10 of the draft have holes they’ll be looking to fill, and which prospect could be most strongly considered by those respective clubs.'
