ESPN.com has learned that there were discussions between the Bills and Dallas Cowboys officials in recent days about a potential trade. It is not known if the Cowboys opted not to pursue those talks or if Bledsoe advised the Bills he did not wanted to be traded. Such a deal would have reunited Bledsoe with Bill Parcells, the coach who brought him into the league as the first overall prospect selected in the 1993 draft.

I wouldnt be suprised if Drew was hesitant to play for Parcels again. I do think he will succeed if he does but Drew always used to squak about how hard Parcels worked him, maybe that could be the difference in his career.... His work ethic?I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

After seeing Drew display a 'deer in headlights' mentality in almost every big game the Bills played in the last couple of years and working under the Clements and Wyche this past year I am convinced Drew will not succeed no matter where he goes. He is like Rob Johnson, no matter how hard you coach him he seems to freeze under pressure in a game situation.
If Drew goes to Dallas I would think that will be the beginning of the end for Parcells in Dallas.

I imagine Cowboy fans are going to be furious.
