Turn out the lights on the Buffalo Bills' 2017 season, because it is over before it started.
In a shocking pair of trades Friday, the Bills traded their top wide receiver, Sammy Watkins, and their top cornerback, Ronald Darby, in separate deals with the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles. In exchange, the Bills acquired Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews, Rams cornerback E.J. Gaines, as well as second- and third-round picks in 2018.
Even given Watkins' problems staying healthy since entering the NFL as the fourth overall selection in 2014, he is a far-and-away better talent than Matthews.
