Saturday Sports Update
Top: Buffalo Bills fans, get used to these two players for a while. On Friday, the Bills parted ways with wide receiver Sammy Watkins and cornerback Ronald Darby in two separate trades. In return, they acquired Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews (left) and Los Angeles Rams cornerback E.J. Gaines (right), along with two draft picks in 2018. Matthews had three productive seasons in Philadelphia, catching 225 passes for 2,673 yards and 19 touchdowns. Gaines appeared in 26 games in two seasons for the Rams, starting all but one of them.
