Bills host QB McCown

Published

on

Quarterback Josh McCown is getting a realistic look from the Buffalo Bills just days after he was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

McCown, 35, was released after one season and 11 starts with the Buccaneers. He had 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The Bucs signed him to a two-year, $10 million deal in March 2014.

With no evidence to date that former first-round pick EJ Manuel is the quarterback of the future in Buffalo, first-year Bills coach Rex Ryan said the position is a priority this spring.

Manuel was passed over as the starter in 2014 by Kyle Orton, who came out of retirement to immediately become the Bills’ top quarterback but he again retired at the end of the season.

The Bills do not have a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Buffalo traded that pick as part of a package to move up to draft wide receiver Sammy Watkins in 2014.

Free agency offers few guaranteed fixes for any team in the market for a quarterback. Former Ryan pupils Mark Sanchez (Bills) and Michael Vick (Jets) are among the list of retreads available as unrestricted free agents.
