Orton has agreed to a deal with the Bills, ESPN's James Walker reports.
Rather than roll with Jeff Tuel as the only backup on the roster behind EJ Manuel, the Bills will turn to Orton for an established veteran for the No. 2 rule. As long as Manuel remains healthy, Orton seems unlikely to take over as the team's starting quarterback in 2014.
Even Pryor would be an immediate upgrade. EJ Manuel is trash and the Buffalo coaching staff is completely out of their element in the NFL. I can't wait for a new owner, fire Marrone (probably by week 7), and make a splash hire in the offseason. That is best case scenario right now and hopefully Spiller makes it through with a new contract, but write this year off for Buffalo in fantasy once again.
agreed. not sure why teams would draft a QB high, knowing he would be a long term project AND start him right away. then back him up with Touel and Lewis.... Brilliant. here comes Old Orton to save the day?.

Why? He's an immediate upgrade. At 50 years old with cataracts he'd be an immediate upgrade.

QB's don't get grace periods anymore and then are cast aside when they don't perform even when they are project qb's....really amazes me.
