Some teams are expected to interview Bills OC Ken Dorsey, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports.
-
LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) and DE Greg Rousseau (ankle) have been ruled out of Thursday’s game by Bills HC Sean McDermott.
-
According to McDermott, DE A.J. Epenesa (ankle) is doubtful and C Mitch Morse (elbow) is questionable.
DOLPHINS
-
According to PFF’s Brad Spielberger, since the Dolphins do not have any running backs under contract for next season, they may be motivated to sign Wilson.
-
Wilson will get a three-year, $9 million extension with $3.75 million in guarantees. It’s not much, but that’s the running back market and it gives him almost more guaranteed money than he’s earned in his career.
JETS

Wilson remains their franchise quarterback, but Saleh believes he needs a “reset” after struggling in Week 11: “He’s capable of so much more than he’s playing at… his issues are so fixable.” (Rosenblatt) He just needs to reset. We remain convinced that he’s the future of this franchise.

As for Wilson’s comments following Week 11, where he deflected blame for the 10-3 loss to the Patriots, LaFleur doesn’t blame the quarterback for feeling frustrated at the time: “I don’t think he meant it…caught up in the moment…can’t take it back. He’ll learn from it.” (Rich Cimini)

Despite the criticism, Wilson believes he must “be better as a leader.” (Rosenblatt)

Wilson said he understands he’s benched because he “wasn’t doing his job.” (Rosenblatt)

The Jets’ LB C.J. Mosley hopes that the quarterback change will allow them to find a “difference maker” for their offense: “We had a hitch in our offense, so we were looking for a difference maker to be more consistent … If things don’t go well, you have to look for another option.” (Rosenblatt) That’s not a knock on Zach, but everyone has a job to do.
