Roscoe Parrish is on the trade block again

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 21, 2009 2:40 PM ET
Drafted by the Mike Mularkey Bills in 2005, wide receiver Roscoe Parrish has had four different offensive coordinators during his tenure in Buffalo.

And none of them have known exactly what to do with him.

So with Parrish mostly riding the pine these days, the Bills have decided to see what they can get for him.

A league source tells PFT's Mike Florio that Parrish is on the trade block and he could be dealt as soon as the week.

Possible destinations include the Chiefs, Jaguars, and Redskins.

The Bills are rather short on the offensive line, but it seems more likely that Buffalo would be able to get a late-round draft pick in exchange for Parrish, who is under contract through 2011.

Parrish has no catches on the season as a wide receiver. He has one punt return for five yards.

where's Patmoran?

I think that he'd fit well in Kansas City.

Meh.

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

I don't expect to get much for him... but if this leads to Steve johnson finally seeing the field, i'm all for it.

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

I agree, Johnson needs to play. Roscoe has been virtually useless offensively. Sure, we lose his 1 punt return TD per season, but the opener didn't bring one, so we'd have to wait until next year to see it anyways.

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

I thought Parrish was a disaster on Sunday. The guy seems incapable of fielding a punt and turning it upfield. He seems to let them hit, and then stands and watches as they roll deeper into our territory.

Anything we could get for him would be OK with me.

Trading Roscoe would be perfect. He offers very, very little to us at this point. Steve Johnson needs to see the field and we're going to need to open up a roster spot or two for when Lynch and Hardy come back. Jacksonville really needs a WR now with Nate Hughes gone and Troy Williamson out for the year. I'm really hoping they can get something for him, even if it's a 5th or 6th round draft pick.

I totally forgot about Hardy. When's he due back?

Week 6 or later.

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

I'm fine with this move. Roscoe Parrish sucks as a receiver and the team doesn't know how to use him right. I'd much prefer Hardy and Johnson as the #4 WR. At least we could use them then.

Send him to the Redskins.

They need more overpaid useless WRs.

[PECKERWOOD]

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

Guys, he still has some value, I wouldn't give him away for free. He isn't a great reciever, understood but he is an elite punt returner, easily top 5 in the NFL.

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

I really don't think they'll get anything of value for him.

If they do trade him, it would be not because of money, but because they want to get Stevie Johnson on the field.

HOWEVER-- Do note that usually when the Bills pick up a notable acquisiton, they usually clear money off the books before or after doing so.

Trading Parrish could give them money for Runyan

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

Only way I'd listen to offers, is if they were offering a 3rd or 4th round pick. I'm sorry, but if any team offers less than that I'd hang up the phone on them.

Re: Roscoe could be traded this week.

We need an upgrade at LB so if there is team solid depth at LB and a need for a special teamer who is threat to break one every time that would be a good trade
