As someone who has followed the team MKC has covered for decades, I can tell you she always puts content/source-free tweets out. She is part of the old wave of journalists and feels pressured to keep up with the times, so she tweets things that don't guarantee anything so she doesn't actually have to backpedal. I mean, really... what does that tweet say? He might make a decision in the next few days.
FA QB's I would take over McCown:
Jake Locker
Matt Moore
Brian Hoyer
Mark Sanchez
Christian Ponder
Colt McCoy
Ryan Mallett
They are talking contract with him today, now that he is done with his visits.
Kevin Kolb 2.0. Ugh.
Who is they?
And where did you see this reported?
I have not seen anything about McCown signing with anyone as of yet.
I just read it on fb. Someone linked an article to the Buffalo News saying the Bills are indeed trying to sign McCown
Does it really matter who they sign? There are no viable QBs out there in free agency, so all they're doing is looking for a stopgap guy until they can figure out what to do in 2016. That's the luxury a new coaching staff has-they get a free ride in season 1. They all know there better be an answer in 2016 when they have a #1 pick.
Paying about $5 million to a veteran QB is pretty much saying they don't have any trust that EJ will earn the starting job.

Exactly
None of these retreads are worth a Damn.
If I were the Bills I would sign McCown, and even another one of the list above and have a 3 way battle in camp.
With that said the winner of that battle has the shortest leash ever. If he doesn't produce.... NEXT and so on and so forth.
People whining about signing McCown.... WTF!!! WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

He looked pretty good when he and his Bucs kicked our asses on kid's night!

I personally think that he's better than EJ & would improve our QB position, his salary also doesn't inhibit us from going out and getting a higher-profile QB if one becomes available. Right now we have incompetence and another guy that doesn't belong in the NFL, we need some depth.
The fact that you have to bring up preseason results to justify signing a 12 year veteran tells the tale by itself.
Billszone 2013 Prediction Contest winner!

Would you rather have EJ or McNown start ?? I'm McNown >>>>> EJ.
Why? McNown has been terrible for 95% of his career. EJ is at least young and has the potential to get better. McCown has already shown his best, and it was five good weeks two years ago.

MANY of the FA QB's are MUCH BETTER than McCown. That is the difference.
And if Locker could stay healthy, he would be a viable NFL starter.
Not necessarily. They want a veteran backup and that's about the going rate for them.
That must be an OLD article from when McCown visited Buffalo.
After they did such a thorough examination of all available vet QB options, I know I feel a lot better.
It's a new article that says the deal could be wrapped up by tomorrow, 2/27.

Could you provide a link? I would like to read that article.
I have seen NOTHING on the Official Bills site, or Two Bills drive or profootballtalk or WGR about this.
