I don't think he has any value, so they're probably just feeling out if anybody is dumb enough to give us something for him. It's amazing, but this organization seems to finally be figuring out that they're players just aren't good enough.

Re: Ko Simpson being shopped by Bills
Do you know who I am? I'm Ko Simpson! I'm worth a 2013 7th round pick!

Re: Ko Simpson being shopped by Bills
Simpson has never been the same since he broke his leg.
Without knowing just how serious that injury was it is hard to say whether his problem coming back from it has been physical or mental (there are some guys who just never can recapture that aggressiveness that you need to be successful after they have been injured). Either way, he just hasn't looked as fast or as aggressive as he was before.
You never know if a guy is going to be able to come all the way back or not after he has played the way Simpson has played since his injury, so any team that trades for him is going to be taking a risk. Consequently, I don't think any team is going to give up anything more than a 6th or 7th round pick for him, especially with his legal issues.
Frankly, George Wilson has played better as a back-up FS than Simpson and probably costs less. If the Bills move Whitner to FS permanently, there is no reason for them to keep Simpson. With Scott and Wendling, the Bills can afford to draft a SS in the middle rounds or wait until someone cuts a safety in TC and draft a safety next season.
IMHO this is just another case of trying to get something for a player who hasn't played up to his contract or reputation. If the Bills can do that, more power to them!Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

Re: Ko Simpson being shopped by Bills
Agreed LTBF or the Bills might like the look of someone like Sherrod Martin from TroySt in the 3rd and pull the trigger especially as Martin has the reputation of playing through injuries.
When the scouted McKelvin, the probably noted the FS lining up as well.

Originally posted by BuddoParrish and Kelsay don't have anything to do with Levy. Please get your facts straight.
While Kelsay wasn't drafted by the Bills, it was Levy who resigned him when he was to become a FA to a 4 year, $24 million deal.. That leaves Levy with having PLENTY to do with him.
WHen was Parrish extended? Was it during Levy's GM run or after?
