Bills
Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters Tuesday that WR Zay Jones‘ recent arrest was “disappointing” and he’s hoping this will be a learning lesson for him.
“It’s an unfortunate situation. It’s somewhat disappointing,” McDermott said, per Mike Rodak. “But it’s a situation, to me, that we can all take something from and learn from it.”
McDermott added that he does not “foresee” discipline from the team for Jones regarding this matter.
“This is the time of year … where things happen. It’s unfortunate,” McDermott said. “You would like the ability to have some form of structure, but those are the rules that are set forth, and we abide by those rules. This is the time of year that you just need to find a routine and stay disciplined with your routine.”
- McDermott said he is “excited” about QBs A.J. McCarron and Nate Peterman and mentioned that Peterman has worked with the “quarterback-type guys out there” and is looking to make a jump in his second season. (Mike Rodak)
Dolphins
- Dolphins HC Adam Gase admitted that moving on from players such as DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be a tough adjustment for them: “Obviously when you have players that have left, the caliber of guys we’ve had, we know we’re not going to replace one guy with one guy.” (Miami Herald)
- Gase said “I’d like to get a quarterback as much as anybody else,” when he’s asked if they’re definitely drafting one. Although, he later added: “We’re not going to pick a quarterback to pick a quarterback. We have to make sure we get the right one for us.”
- Regarding QB Ryan Tannehill, Gase said he’s “ready to go.”
- Gase said he admires Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield and believes they’re “close in personality probably”: “Whatever it is he wants to win. He always wants to do a little bit more. I’ve enjoyed the amount of time I’ve spent with him.”
- According to Gase, veteran DE William Hayes underwent back surgery for an issue that had been lingering for some time. (Adam Beasley)
Jets
Vikings HC Mike Zimmer said at the owners meeting on Tuesday that the reports he received from their medical staff regarding QB Teddy Bridgewater “weren’t as positive as I was about it.”
“The reports I’d get back from the medical people weren’t as positive as I was about it,” Zimmer said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN. “That’s kind of how it came down is that his knee wasn’t as … he still has some recovery to do. When I watched him in practice he moved well, I didn’t see limitations but from what I was told there was some.”
