From Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports:
I know this has been a rumor, but seeing it in print is somewhat startling.
Do you guys really think Wilson forced the decision to start Edwards to save money? Do you really think he would spend all the money he has on players this offseason, only to bench his QB to save a couple million?
It is pretty amazing to think that might happen.
A source close to J.P. Losman says he was told the quarterback was kept on the bench after returning from a knee injury in favor of rookie Trent Edwards because Bills owner Ralph Wilson wanted to save money (on a potential playing-time bonus for Losman and on future contract payments). So how did Losman respond when Edwards left Sunday's road game against the Jets in the third quarter with a wrist injury? He led Buffalo on consecutive scoring drives, including an 85-yard touchdown pass to Lee Evans with 3:38 remaining, to give the Bills a 13-3 victory that improved the team to 3-4.
