It's in an ESPN Insider article, so no link, but here is the text...
"Bills coach Gregg Williams is a Peerless Price fan. Apparently, he's also a Josh Reed fan. Williams, as well as team president and general manager Tom Donahoe, said he'd like to keep Price on board. But when asked what the Bills would do if Price's franchise tag was rescinded or if he was dealt, Williams said he's very confident Reed could step in and be a very effective No.2 receiver.
Williams recounted that in training camp last season, there was a time when both Drew Bledsoe and Alex Van Pelt were throwing almost exclusively to Reed.
"What speaks volumes about Josh is how those veteran quarterbacks had that so much faith in him so soon," said Williams. "That's almost unheard of for a rookie."
However, Williams went onto say that even though he feels Reed could step up in his second year, to keep the offense at such a high level, Price would need to return to upstate New York."
Well that's a firm stand now, isnt it! SO price is good for the offense but we're ok without him. What leadership! No one has taken that stance yet! :rolleyes:
