The Los Angeles Chargers have acquired Bills second-year quarterback Cardale Jones in a trade that sends a conditional draft pick back to Buffalo. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter the draft pick is conditional for the seventh round.
Jones appeared in only one game as a rookie last season for the Bills, completing 6 of 11 passes for 96 yards in a Week 17 loss to the New York Jets.
The Ohio State product is familiar with new Chargers coach Anthony Lynn, as Lynn served as Buffalo's interim head coach at the end of last season. Jones also is joining ex-Buckeyes teammates Joey Bosa and Joshua Perry in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, which has incumbent quarterback Philip Rivers in place as the team's top signal-caller, privately worked out quarterback Robert Griffin III on Tuesday. Though the workout reportedly went well, instead of signing Griffin, the team executed the trade with the Bills.

classic bills. draft an incredibly raw guy in the fourth, and then give up after a year and trade him for a seventh.
it can always be worse, bear's fans.

Wow. You would think any young player would love to hang out in a city with such a dynamic night life as Buffalo. I think that town has both an Applebee's AND a TGI Friday's.
