The Facts: Mark Gaughan wrote Wednesday that Bills fans should be happy to have missed out on Alex Smith, who is an improvement over Tyrod Taylor but still an expensive bridge quarterback. What about Cousins, whom Smith is replacing in Washington? Cousins is expected to be too pricey for the Bills, and "nothing about his history suggests he's a lift-a-modestly-talented-squad-on-his shoulders player," Gaughan wrote.

Diehards Line: For what it's worth, the online betting site Bovada gave lines for Cousins' potential suitors, with the Bills going off at 9-1, behind the Jets, Broncos, Cardinals and Browns. According to the News, the Bills may be best suited hoping a team with a high draft pick signs Cousins, leaving one less team they're competing against for the top QBs in the draft.
