‘Several NFL execs said they foresee a decent trade market for Taylor, who just turned 28 in August, this offseason, and expect interest to form at the combine.’

‘Taylor ranks 20th in value per play among all quarterbacks, according to Football Outsiders’ metrics, just behind Russell Wilson and Marcus Mariota. A season ago, Taylor ranked 19th in value per play.’

‘Six words: Josh McCown, Christian Hackenberg, Bryce Petty. McCown is 38 years young and neither Hackenberg (the 2016 second-round pick) nor Petty (a 2015 fourth-round) have been good enough to unseat him. In fact, when Rex Ryan was the Jets coach he desperately tried to get Taylor.’

‘”Peterman is ready to walk in and be a contributor from day one,” Gruden wrote on ESPN.com in April. “He just looks like a pro quarterback — coming out of the huddle, running an offense with different formations, shifting, motioning, different patterns that other colleges don’t run. Peterman will recognize route combinations and associate formations.”‘

‘The 75-yard run by the nude man was arguably the biggest highlight of the day for Bills fans, who watched their team get blown out 47-10. During the man’s run across the field, hundreds of fans were cheering him on.’

‘Benjamin was drafted by the Panthers in the first round of the 2014 draft, a stacked receiver class that has had several pass-catchers relocated. Sammy Watkins went from the Bills to the Rams, Brandin Cooks from the Saints to the Patriots and, of course, Benjamin’s move to Buffalo. Of the five receivers selected in the first round in that draft, only Mike Evans and Odell Beckham Jr. have remained with their original teams.’

‘Sloppiness also played a role. The Bills were penalized 11 times for 99 yards. They turned the ball over three times, and two were self inflicted.’

‘The Bills just acquired a big-bodied, 26-year-old receiver who totaled 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns in his rookie season, 941 yards and seven touchdowns in 2016, and 475 yards and two touchdowns so far this season. He’s a good, not great receiver who sometimes struggles to get open, but has been productive throughout his career.’

‘The Bills would also be willing to move veterans Cordy Glenn and the recently-un-retiring Anquan Boldin at the right price, sources said, as the organization continues to focus on assets that can move them forward in the long and short term.’

‘In return for Dareus, the Jaguars are sending a 2018 sixth-round pick to Buffalo that reportedly could become a fifth-round pick based on how Dareus performs with the Jaguars.’

‘The one caveat with any trade talks is that Condon is only supposed to talk to NFL teams that are in close “proximity to Boldin’s home and family.”‘

‘Dareus, who drew the ire (rightfully so) of the new regime of coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane for arriving late to a preseason game at Baltimore after years of previous transgressions, was on the trading block prior to roster cutdowns in September, other NFL executives said, but interest was muted. Dareus, who has performed at an elite level at times in his career but has also worn out his welcome in Buffalo with suspensions and lackluster play, was seen as un-tradebable by other team’s given his off-field woes and his massive contract.’
