Probably not a name Buffalo Bills fans had hoped to hear in connection to their quarterback situation.<\/p>\n<p>With E.J.

If we think there\u2019s a free agent like Mark or somebody else out there that we think can help us, then we\u2019ll absolutely explore it. We\u2019ve briefly talked about some possibilities out there. We\u2019ll definitely look into anybody that we think can help us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan tried not to throw Manuel under the bus praising the skills that Ryan scouted ahead of the 2013 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know EJ is somebody that we looked at when he came out,\u201d said Ryan. \u201cI feel like he has a lot of traits that you look for in a quarterback. He\u2019s smart, he\u2019s dedicated. I think he has movement skills. I\u2019d like to see him use his legs more than he has. He\u2019ll certainly be given an opportunity here. That doesn\u2019t mean we are set at the quarterback position. We talked about how it\u2019s an evaluation process right now. We\u2019ll do whatever is in the best interest of the Buffalo Bills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bills lack a first round pick after training up to get Sammy Watkins last season. With a weak free agent class and a think draft of quarterbacks the Bills could have to wait another season to find their signal caller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Sanchez.
