    Mike Rodak ✔ @mikerodak

    Newest Bills player, Gabe Ikard, hints at Bills having interest in his former Titans teammate QB Alex Tanney.

    He had a cup of coffee in Buffalo under Chan Gailey regime.

    Most of you remember him, but for those who don't:

    Re: QB Alex Tanney headed back to Buffalo?

    Is there a practice squad HOF ? He'd be a candidate.

    So be it. 6-2 1/2 223. Mobile.

    Found this comment from back in 2012 under his Scout Profile. Oh, the irony.

    Welcome to KC. Please take Cassel's job. Thanks.

    Hmm..Tanney did OK this pre-season. Look down at #11. At least he played a bit.

    EJ Manuel is the poster child for the fact that preseason QB ratings can be a useless statistic.

    I actually thought this was a joke at first. They think he's better than Simms?

    Might just be that Tanney came up here with him because he knows the area, having been here before, and just means to show Ikard how to get around.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Simms lost the gig simply because of the throw backwards. Just lack of attention to the field position and made what would be a momentum turning play.

    Simms signed with Atlanta. Judging preseason stats but Tanney out played Simms so I have no problem if we bring him in.

    Maybe he's just visiting some of the garbage cans he threw balls into.

    Maybe there's going to be another strike and they're preparing for the next scab team.

    A bunch of my friends played on the last one.

    Don't think the current CBA has an opt out option until after next season.

    It's never too early to start collecting bartenders and cab drivers for the next scab team.
