EJ Manuel, the Buffalo Bills’ 2013 first-round draft pick, officially became a member of the Oakland Raiders on Monday. Manuel signed a one-year deal as Derek Carr’s backup on a contract which will pay him $800k none of which is guaranteed.
Manuel, who played the good soldier throughout his Bills’ tenure, opened up about his frustrations with his roller-coaster playing time during his four years as a member of the Bills. He took a few shots at the team when John Kryk of the Toronto Sun asked, noting that he “never had a chance to grow or fight through those growing pains” while a member of the Bills.
