ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- As Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane sat in the team's draft room Saturday, he was surprised to see quarterback Tyree Jackson among the names remaining on the board as the seventh round progressed.
The Bills were not considered part of the quarterback market this offseason after selecting Josh Allen at No. 7 overall last year, as well as extending the contracts of backups Matt Barkley and Derek Anderson. But after Jackson unexpectedly went undrafted Saturday, Beane pounced by giving the University at Buffalo prospect $75,000 guaranteed to remain in town and sign with the Bills.
