"The Buffalo Bills have talked to former Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart about accepting a quarterback/slash role, but Bills coach Mike Mularkey isn't sure that Stewart will go for it. "My gut feeling is I'm not sure he's ready to accept a backup role, which I emphasized to him pretty much point blank," said Mularkey, who is committed this season to incumbent Drew Bledsoe as the starter. "This is not a come-in-and-compete-for-the-starting-job. We're looking for an experienced quarterback who if something happened to Drew, we'd feel comfortable with. I'm intrigued by Kordell because of some of the abilities he has to do some of the things we talk about. I don't want to call it the slash role, but it's a little bit of that. To me, when he was the most popular player in the league, that's what he was doing best. To me, at least he's being involved in the game. He is going to play in every game. I think he has to think that over, whether that's something that intrigues him or not. My gut feeling is he's got to think about it. It's not a no-brainer." Stewart also has spoken to the Denver Broncos about a backup job to Jake Plummer."
