Bills signed QB A.J. McCarron, formerly of the Bengals, to a two-year contract worth $10 million.
He can earn another $6 million in incentives. McCarron was linked to Cleveland, but that ship sailed as soon as the Browns traded for Tyrod Taylor. Ironically, McCarron is now headed to Orchard Park as Taylor's replacement. The Bills don't have much in the way of weapons -- injury-prone Charles Clay led the team in receiving yards last year -- but at least McCarron will finally get a chance to start. Of course, he'll just be keeping the seat warm for whatever quarterback Buffalo ends up drafting in April. McCarron's $5 million annual average puts him in the Chase Daniel ballpark. This is a clear-cut backup's deal.
