Pasquarelli has a new column on ESPN about the 4 QB's taken in the first round and how they may cause "controversy's"... here's what he had to say about Buffalo:
Buffalo: This could be the most intriguing of the quarterback selections in the first round, since it could signal the eventual end to Drew Bledsoe's tenure with the Bills. The club sacrificed its first-round pick in 2005 to move up and snatch J.P. Losman of Tulane, a guy overshadowed by the "Big Three" quarterbacks in this draft, but a better athlete than any of the others.
A Southern California kid who played in New Orleans, the confident Losman might have to invest in some long-johns to get through the Buffalo winter.
Bledsoe is due a $7 million bonus by Nov. 1 to trigger the 2005-2007 segment of his deal. If the Bills decline to pay that option bonus, Bledsoe could become a free agent at the end of this season. Given the manner in which he regressed in 2003, Bledsoe might be considered overpaid this year, when he is slated to earn a $5.9 million base salary.
Buffalo officials spoke with Bledsoe's agent on Friday about reworking his contract, but there was no progress. This could well be Bledsoe's swan song year with the Bills.
