‘The deal has a base value of $5.5 million and a maximum value of $6 million, a source confirmed to ESPN. Ivory, who turns 30 on March 22, will be guaranteed $3.25 million. NFL Network first reported his compensation.’

‘The surgery, which will take place later this month in New York City, will involve taking part of Kelly’s fibula and blood vessels from his leg. Kelly told WGRZ that the procedure will improve his quality of life, but it is unclear whether Kelly will also undergo radiation and chemotherapy treatments.’

‘Kelly’s daughter, Erin Kelly-Bean, and his wife, Jill, posted messages to Instagram on Thursday.’

‘”Tyrod is a good player,” McDermott said. “At this point in the process, I’ve learned being around this league around 20 years, it’s way too early to take anything off the table, other than cutting him at this point, which is not in our plans.”‘

‘Before he was released, Davis said he felt disrespected when the Colts left him behind. He said he hadn’t played well in 2017 because he was still dealing with the groin injury he suffered against Pittsburgh in the third preseason game, which caused him to miss the first three weeks of the regular season.’

‘”So a lot of [Bills players] just didn’t understand or know the impact that it had on the business, the organization and the community — good or bad. So I do think there’s definitely an impact. I wouldn’t shy away from it at all. I think there is a common ground. I think a lot of it is more about communicating and learning from each other on both sides and coming to some type of a compromise at some point. Sometimes you won’t be able to come to a compromise. But something usually gets done when that happens.”‘

‘In his letter, Williams reiterated that he felt Landry’s hit was unnecessary but that he has “no ill will” toward Landry, who later apologized.’

‘”We don’t have any cap room right now,” Beane said. “You roll it over [into the next season]. He’ll be on our roster for a while, until we figure things out.”‘

‘Wood tweeted that he was initially diagnosed with the injury in his season-ending physical and that team doctor Andrew Cappuccino and other physicians said he will not be cleared to play football, regardless of whether he undergoes surgery or other treatment.’

‘”I saw him in the locker room [at the Pro Bowl], went up to him, said, ‘Good to finally meet you,’ I apologized for my part in this, and I said I hope we can get a drink here and I can get to know you better,” Incognito said in a story published Thursday evening. “He was cool. We shook hands and hugged it out.”‘

‘Ngakoue said he wanted to move on from the incident and declined to talk about what Incognito said to him, but he did confirm the two players had spoken before the AFC’s first Pro Bowl practice and ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex. Incognito declined an interview after the practice.’

‘”We are excited to hire Brian as our offensive coordinator and welcome him back to Western New York,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said in a statement. “I know how much this area means to him. He is a good coach and a good teacher and has been part of winning programs in the NFL and in college.”‘

‘Second-half scoring was a particular issue for the Bills’ offense. Buffalo averaged 5.6 second-half points per game after Week 10, including the playoff loss. The Bills’ four offensive touchdowns in the second half over that period were tied for second fewest in the NFL.’

‘”We’re not satisfied with the whole offense, and it wasn’t just about [quarterback] Tyrod [Taylor],” Beane said during the Bills’ end-of-season news conference. “There’s a lot of hands in the cookie jar, so to speak. [coach] Sean [McDermott] and I, we’re going to talk about everything. We know we have to get better on offense, on defense, on special teams. We are far from a finished product.”‘

‘”There was definitely an exchange,” Beane said Tuesday during the Bills’ end-of-season news conference. “I think there’s a misunderstanding of what was said.”‘
