Bills likely to trade QB Losman after season


After showcasing some heady play, especially late in the game, in the Bills’ Week 13 victory over the Redskins, rookie Trent Edwards looks to have locked up the Buffalo quarterback job. And not just for the remainder of the season. Our sources in Buffalo tell us that J.P. Losman, the team’s first-round selection in 2004, is highly unlikely to be on the roster next year. His high salary makes it very difficult for the Bills to keep him on the bench, and they will cut him if unable to engineer a trade for him. However, with the shoddy quarterback play in the league this season, we hear that the Bills are very confident they can deal him. Ideally, they are looking for a second-round selection in April’s draft, but a more likely scenario is a third- or fourth-round pick.

Baltimore, KC, Washington, Detroit, Minnesota, Atlanta, Caronlina.

My guess is Detroit or Washington.

Detroit? I don't think so.

Chicago or Minn would make sense.

We can get a decent mid-round pick and he'll go to a team where he has a good chance of starting. Win win.

we'd be blessed if we get and 2nd for him.

There's no way we are getting a 2nd round pick though - but then again Miami gave up that for Culpepper and Touchy Feeley.

Why not Detroit? Kitna has not been so good and he's getting old. They drafted a QB in the 3rd round last season but he's been on IR and has zero experience. In that Mike Martz offense, JP with his big arm can really shine.

Chicago already has a JP clone in Grossman - reckless big arm gunslinger. Makes no sense for them to dump Grossman and bring in the same guy.

You might want to add Carolina to the mix, imo. Jake Delhomme is not that young, has been hurt, and doesn't seem to have the 'it' that he had in his first few years w/Carolina. David Carr has been even worse for them than he was for Houston. I could see them being in the market for a guy like JP.

Oh yeah, Atlanta would be logical place as well.

Steve Smith would love that.

I would take a 3rd for him or multiple picks, but we will get more than some argued with me about when i started this thread after the jacksonville game, QB are in high regard and someones trash is another's treasure
i think a 3rd is not unrealisitc

Both interesting choices -

Carolina needs a mobile QB that can get the ball downfield to Steve Smith - and surely Losman could beat out a 44 year old dinosaur like Vinny T.

Atlanta would love a QB that can air it out as well since Vick was never capable of doing that. But with Harringon (JP clone) and Leftwich, and likely Brian Brohm to be drafted, that's probably not a realistic destination.

My gut feeling tells me it will be Detroit - Kitna has done ok, but they are free falling right now and Mike Martz is the type of coordinator that would throw a bomb every play if he had his way - and will all the weapons in Detroit, Losman might have a chance to do something there - at least against other garbage teams in the NFC.

I bet Losman would play really well in Minnesota. With the unstoppable run game they have it would really open things up for Losman's arm.

We need to get something - even if it's just a 6th/7th rounder.

The problem here is we already have a ton of draft picks in the 2008 draft - and not enough roster space for them all.

Ideally we need an established veteran in exchange for Losman, even if he's older than JP - a veteran safety, DE, TE, or WR.
