Report that Bills inquired about Eli Manning?

I don't think this makes any sense. Eli is on a big cap hit. Yes the Bills have a lot of cap space but if the Bills trade for Eli that takes a hit on the space they can roll over in 2020 where they are going to want as much space as possible. 

 

I also don't think Eli represents much of an upgrade to Matt Barkley. If I had to pick one QB to win a game I pick Eli over Barkley but I am not giving up a draft pick and cap space to moderately upgrade the backup QB position. I think the Steelers make the most sense as they would be willing to take Eli on a rental.

On the face of it it is bizarre. I have to let it breathe some before I can wrap my head around it or even find out if it was true or not.

Say Allen got hurt for a lengthy period of time, who would you want Eli or Barkley? Eli has played in the big stage. I will take the guy that has been there.

 I agree 100%. But a back up quarterback costing that much makes no sense to me at all.

Agreed. But I’m guessing that they probably would only do it for the year and they have the room. Plus the Beane/Gettleman thing 

 I have to admit, I’m pretty much at a point where I’d go along with Beane no matter what he does....except for AB
