I have no idea, nor do I think it matters. The Bills leaving Buffalo would be an aweful thing. The Bills would be a distant #2 to the Maple Leafs if they moved to Toronto and Toronto is a city with a lot of things to do. The city of Buffalo doesn't have a lot going for it, the Bills leaving would be devastating. Maybe they'd make a little more money in Toronto, I don't know the financial aspects of the situation, I just hope the NFL and Ralph Wilson do the right thing and that's keeping the Bills where they are.

I don't think it's for sale, but I could be wrong about that. I think all the talk has to do with the fact it very well could be for sale soon because Ralph Wilson is like 90. Nobody knows how much longer he's going to be around or if he wants to sell the team while he is still around. I did read something about Jim Kelly saying that he would do everything in his power to keep the Bills in Buffalo. I guess he has a group of investors that are willing to keep the team in Buffalo if it comes to that. Here you go, I found an article about Kelly wanting to keep the team in Buffalo.

Bills pick up DTs Marcus Stroud and Spencer Johnson and LB Kawika Mitchell, could be getting WR Bryant Johnson and TE Ben Troupe as well. Maybe not huge moves, but they address real needs and make the team a little better at those spots, and they make this fan happy. Hopefully they can get an impact player with the #11 overall pick, maybe CB or DE, trade Losman for a mid-round pick, and they'll be looking pretty good. Trent Edwards isn't a star by any means, but he's serviceable at least.

just an opinion as we passed over alot of guys I wouldve liked. I mean that Corner from Akron in the 4th??? I hope Youboty eats him for lunch in training camp!!!! I admit Ellis from Va tech is good and Steve Johnson from UK was a nice late pickup.

Given the strength of Seattle's D they could have used him to be in game shape Sunday...be interesting to see if Kearney runs roughshod.

Trent Edwards has compiled a 93.5 passer rating while leading the Bills to a 4-0 start.

Will Trent Edwards become the league's next great quarterback? That's what some scouts are pondering after watching the rapid development of the former Stanford passer whom many of them whiffed on in the 2007 draft. The third-round selection has taken his game to another level, and the Bills' surprising 4-0 start can be largely attributed to his growth.
"He is a really good player," said a longtime NFL defensive coach whose team faced Edwards last season. "He has good physical tools and manages the game well. But I think that his football intelligence is his most impressive attribute."
Edwards has a 9-4 record as a starter, completing 65.5 percent of his passes and sporting an impressive 93.5 passer rating, both better than his 2007 numbers of 56.1 percent and 70.4, respectively. Moreover, he has thrown four touchdowns passes and only two interceptions this season. A year ago he had seven TD throws and eight interceptions.
While it would be tempting to attribute Edwards' success to a conservative game plan that rarely incorporates deep throws, the fact is Edwards' yards-per-attempt (7.8) ranks seventh in the league. Last season the Bills completed 33 passes over 20 yards. Through four games, they already have 14 completions over 20 yards, and the increase in explosive plays has helped boost their scoring average to 27.2 points a game, up from 15.8 last season.
Most offenses attempt to protect young quarterbacks by featuring an assortment of short-and-intermediate routes in their game plans. The strategy allows inexperienced passers to compile gaudy completion percentages, but the lack of downfield throws encourages defenders to clamp down on underneath throws and often leaves the quarterback with tighter windows in which to complete passes. Therefore, completing the long ball is essential for any offense that wants to move the ball consistently.
"You want to have those explosive plays, and in order to have those plays you have to throw it deep down the field and be accurate with it," Edwards told The Buffalo News earlier this season.
