Bills' Derek Anderson: Announces retirement
Derek Anderson announced Thursday that he is retiring from the NFL, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Anderson is calling it a career after 15 NFL seasons. A career backup, Anderson totaled 10,878 yards, 60 touchdowns and 64 interceptions across 78 appearances for the Browns, Cardinals, Panthers and Buffalo Bills. His retirement means that Matt Barkley will likely be the backup quarterback in Buffalo in 2019, while undrafted free agent Tyree Jackson now has a better chance to land the No. 3 job.

Bills' Derek Anderson: Inks extension
Derek Anderson signed a one-year contract extension with the Buffalo Bills on Monday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.Buffalo previously extended top backup Matt Barkley earlier this month, so the decision to re-sign Anderson indicates the team at least tentatively plans to proceed with three quarterbacks on the roster in 2019. Though he underwhelmed across his two appearances with Buffalo this season, completing 42 of 70 passes for 465 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions, the 35-year-old was a positive resource for rookie Josh Allen, who displayed signs of growth down the stretch. So long as Allen and Barkley are both healthy next season, Anderson will continue to offer most of his value as a mentor to the younger signal-callers.

Bills' Derek Anderson: Remains limited
Derek Anderson (concussion) is still listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice, Chris Brown of the Buffalo Bills' official site reports.Anderson suffered the concussion all the way back in Week 8, so it's a bit surprising he's not back in full action at this stage. However, as the No. 3 quarterback for a team that wants to get rookie Josh Allen all the playing time he can get no matter how he plays, it's highly unlikely Anderson sees the field again in 2018.

Derek Anderson (concussion) remained a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.Now that Josh Allen is healthy again, Anderson's Week 14 status is only of import with regard to the Buffalo Bills' depth under center.

Bills' Derek Anderson: Still limited in practice
Coach Sean McDermott said Derek Anderson remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.com reports.Anderson also opened Week 12 as a limited participant in practice before sitting out Sunday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars, so it would appear he's made no notable progress in his recovery from the head injury. Even if Anderson passes through the five-step protocol and gains clearance to play this weekend against the Dolphins, it's unclear if he would dress as the No. 2 quarterback behind rookie Josh Allen, as Matt Barkley may have permanently moved ahead of the veteran on the depth chart.
