    Bills must be VERY INTERESTED in Billy Volek

    The Bills, who also wrapped up a deal with free agent cornerback Troy Vincent yesterday, were a late entry in the negotiations for Volek, but they were serious enough to have contacted Staninger at least three times yesterday.

    Attempts to reach Bills GM Tom Donahoe for comment yesterday were unsuccessful.

    Volek's only career start was against the Bills last season. He threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns in a Tennessee victory but also suffered a lacerated spleen.

      I totally agree. Or he just wants other options. The funny thing is...he could sign Volek and then still draft Rivers.

        WR or DE in RD. 1... Then best QB available in the second.

          This better not be Rob Johnson Redux.

            MAn, I really do hope we get Udeze.
            LA needs a football team so that I can watch a Bills game live.

              We won't be giving up a #1 and #4 for him or a 25 million dollar contract. Can't even be compared to RJ.

                    100 times is an understatement. I am sick of hearing comparisons to Rob Johnson.

                    If that is the case, why don't we go pick up Steve Walsh. The last time we got a QB from Miami it worked out.

                    Lets draft the best WR at Kutztown State, that worked out last time.

                      Here's the thing...

                      Billy Volek COULD be the next Rob Johnson...

                      Ben Roethlisberger COULD be the next Rob Johnson...

                      Phillip Rivers COULD be the next Rob Johnson...

                      They all have POTENTIAL! You never know what you are going to get.

                        Quarterbacks are like a box of cho-co-lates.

                            You guys are missing the point on comparing Volek to RJ. The point is, at least my point is, I hope TD doesn't give Volek anything more than backup $$$. I don't mind bringing Volek in, but he hasn't done a thing to prove he deserves anything more than a backup's salary. If by chance he sucks, we didn't waste a bunch of cash on him, if by chance he's the next Jim Kelly, then we give him more money. I think alot of fans just don't want to see Buffalo give this guy a huge contract, and for some reason they expect the Bills to do that. JMO

                              Too bad Kevin Gumpbride didn't get a chance to coach him!
