Bills representatives will travel to Los Angeles to work out Sam Darnold this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports (on Twitter).
Darnold will throw for this contingent on Friday, per Rapoport. He’s a virtual certainty to go in the top five and probably in the top two, but the Bills have been widely reported to pursuing a path into the top five for the purposes of landing a quarterback.
Darnold has already visited the Browns, who have been the team most connected to him, and spent the most recent Friday working out for Broncos reps. He has a visit planned with the Giants, who are not certain to select a quarterback but are rumored to be Darnold fans to the point they wouldn’t pass on him at No. 2 if the Browns let him get there, and has a non-30 visit with the Chargers lined up.
The Bills have A.J. McCarron penciled in as their 2018 starter, but he’s viewed as a bridge passer while the Brandon Beane-run franchise targets a longer-term solution.
Idk if I would even entertain that tbh. They aren’t getting up to 1 or 2 to get him unless they give up 12, 23, 53, 56 at the very least.
Your probably right but from the Bills perspective there is no downside. Teams still have to convince their fans that they are working hard to improve the product and this is a very cheap way of promoting more ticket sales.
I’d add a 2019 first-rounder to that. To surrender #1 overall in this QB class – it’s going to take an awful lot to get it.
Unless the browns are moving the first pick, I don’t see Darnold in Buffalo unless they sell the farm and the tractor.
Buffalo is always under a mountain of snow in December so they can’t part with the tractor.
