TMZ: Bills Contacted Matt Barkley, Not Colin Kaepernick, Amid QB Struggles

The Buffalo Bills reportedly did not contact free-agent Colin Kaepernick this week despite quarterbacks Josh Allen and Derek Anderson dealing with injuries.

According to TMZ Sports, no teams have reached out to Kaepernick even though several franchises are having issues under center in terms of performance and injuries.

Instead, Buffalo signed Matt Barkley on Wednesday to serve as Nathan Peterman's backup against the Chicago Bears on Sunday if Anderson can't suit up due to a concussion.

Allen—Buffalo's rookie starter—has missed the past two games with an elbow injury, and there is no definitive timetable for his return.
