"I'm very, very impressed with Dick Jauron," Wilson said in a phone interview with the Associated Press late Wednesday. "And I've never seen a team with so many injuries -- we signed guys off the street who were playing the next weekend -- compete the way they have. It's amazing."
on JP and Edwards
The future might still include Losman, the fourth-year player who lost his starting job to rookie quarterback Trent Edwards this season. Losman has one year left on his contract, and there have been questions of whether the Bills will try to trade him this offseason now that they're moving forward with Edwards.
Not so fast, said Wilson, noting the number of starters who have been injured this season, including in Carolina, where the Panthers were forced to start aging veteran Vinny Testaverde. The Bills were even forced to go back to Losman, who secured three wins in five appearances midway through the season after Edwards sprained his throwing hand.
"A team needs two quarterbacks the way they're getting injured," Wilson said. "We'll have to think long and hard on that one."
If Losman returns, he'll remain the backup, because Wilson said Jauron is "very, very high" on Edwards, the third-round draft pick who has contributed to four victories in eight appearances this season.

Wilson said the Bills will be "very selective" in free agency this offseason, extending a trend that began two years ago when Marv Levy took over as general manager
on draft:
Wilson isn't a big believer in free agency, noting that most of this year's group of Pro Bowl selections were players developed by their respective teams. It's a group that includes Buffalo's lone Pro Bowl player, tackle Jason Peters, signed as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2004.
"You build a team from the draft," Wilson said. "It takes a little longer that way, but you have, for example, one team that has signed a lot of players but has never been a Super Bowl team."
