It would be great if the Bears jettisoned Cutler and started McCown next season. Doing so will increase the Bears' chances of obtaining a top-3 pick in the 2016 draft and acquiring a top-tier QB talent.

I'm curious if the Bears bring back Left Guard Matt Slauson. The offense went to crap without him.

Signing McCown would make B&B's head explode, which would be awesome.

This McCown thing is a real head scratcher. What does it mean? The only thing that makes sense would be if they were able to trade Cutler. If they don't do that, priority #1 is finding the QB of the future.

McCown was terrible last year. I would much rather the Bears let a rookie take his lumps and learn at the NFL level than see McCown play for the Bears. Stick with Cutler, or start fresh with somebody else.

You need a back up QB. A veteran one is preferred. McCown is a great locker room guy.

It's really that simple. Someone will sign him.

AP source: Bills negotiating to sign quarterback McCown

By JOHN WAWROW (AP Sports Writer)
3 hours ago

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Bills are negotiating to sign veteran free agent Josh McCown to address their long-standing needs at quarterback.

A person familiar with discussions told The Associated Press on Thursday that contract talks are taking place between the two sides. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills do not comment on contract discussions.

The negotiations began after the 35-year-old spent the previous two days visiting the Cleveland Browns. Two weeks ago, McCown spent two days meeting with Bills officials and touring Buffalo. He has also visited Chicago and the New York Jets.

McCown is a 12-year NFL veteran who went 1-10 in his only season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before being released by the team earlier this month. Overall, he has a 17-32 career record split among six teams.

The Bills have several needs at quarterback under newly hired coach Rex Ryan.

EJ Manuel, who lost the starting job four weeks into last season, is the only experienced quarterback on the team's roster after journeyman Kyle Orton announced his intention to retire following the season. Ryan hasn't given up on Manuel, though McCown would be given a shot to compete for the starting job.

McCown, who spent the 2011-13 seasons with the Chicago Bears, is familiar with Aaron Kromer, Buffalo's new offensive line coach. Kromer was the Bears offensive coordinator in 2013, when McCown went 3-2 filling in for injured starter Jay Cutler.

The Bills haven't ruled out adding at least two quarterbacks to their roster this offseason.

Don't forget sports fans, Kyle Orton was 7-5 last year as Bills starter. Yeah, the Bills crapped down their legs in their first meaningful game in a decade @Raiders in Week 16.

Weren't the bears 5-10 with Jay Cutler, just sayin'.

The Bills have a favorable schedule in 2015 and Rex Ryan will have the defense he wanted in NY. They will have a winning record again this year and be contending in the AFC playoff hunt again. Their need is to resign Spiller and shore up the O line with first draft pick in the 2nd round. Yeah... they gave up the 1st round pick to Cleveland to move up and get Sammy "Who loves ya baby?" Watkins.
