really? I put that in the very much overblown category and while i’m sure they did some sort of due diligence on the issue – it just wasn’t going to happen.

remember – continuity, continuity, continuity – the reason DJ is here and also the reason why Edwards is our starting QB

but I also was certain we’d get Birk – so……..

Agreed.

I will believe the door is shut when I hear Dick Jauron say "the Buffalo Bills have no interest in Jay Cutler."

I understand that I may have to wait a while for that one.

All I can say is

that I hope Geronimo is right and that DJ has spoken with Trent. We do not need a Broncos part II scenario here.

I'll be the first to admit

reading too much into Geronimo’s comments. But at least this means the front office is still active and trying to exhaust all their possibilities before the draft.

This may not involve moving Edwards, but hopefully this means they have a few more cards up their sleeves.

So glad to see this post

Cutler would have given this organization no greater guarantee than Edwards does. Don’t pick from another tree when you have a ripe apple in hand.

I honestly don’t think that Cutler is that much better, better yes, but not by as much as ppl think. Plus Trent is the offencive leader of that locker room, I wouldn’t want to mess with the chemistry that he developped with everyone else there.

Keep Trent

by CanadianBillsFan on Mar 17, 2009 1:19 PM EDT reply actions

Cutler has a stronger arm. It ends there for me, when speaking about where he “trumps” Edwards. I don’t think Cutler will remain in Denver past this season – and I don’t think it’s wise to wish for him to remain a Bronco long-term.

What about this:

I have to wonder if Belichick saw this coming by discussing Cassel with McDaniels, and secretly wanted to create this windstorm?

That sucks

I was looking for the Bills to go after Scheffler. If they haven’t yet, they should lay an offer on the table, especially if its only a 4th or 5th round pick.

by billsct11 on Mar 17, 2009 1:33 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah, this report of Capaccio has nothing to do with Scheffler. I actually mentioned that right in the FanShot.

Given Sheff’s injury history, is giving up a 4th or even 5th worth it, when the draft is deep?

pft

is now commenting on it as well with the link here

However, this information does nothing but dispel the internet rumors for now….if the Bills are indeed talking to the Broncos, Cook, about Cutler or Scheffler, it is in their best interest to shut down any conversations from getting leaked to anyone anywhere. All we can do is sit back and wait to see if anything does or doesn’t happen

yea

nothing official has been said yet and I think Sal’s piece, if anything, is just saying what most of us have been. It doesn’t seem that likely that a team which has invested in and supported Edwards from the get go would trade him but nothing is certain

So Trent is “staying put”….that doesn’t mean Cutler wouldn’t be swapped for a draft pick, eh? What if Denver had no interest in Trent, but the Bills were highly interested in Cutler?

If there truly is any significant interest in Cutler, the Bills would be wise to say that Trent is staying put. What good comes from involving your QB in trade discussions? We’ve seen it blow up in Denver’s face already, no need to follow a similar path.

Scheffler and Edwards vs Cutler

Everyone is so caught up in Cutler, is the impact of Scheffler getting overlooked?? Having Scheffler and Trent Edwards on the Bills as opposed to having Cutler and no passing TE? That would still have a solid positive impact on the offense, with now 4 legit passing threats on the field at once. While Cutler would be great, getting that TE piece of the puzzle in place before the draft would also be a HUGE deal. Now the team can realistically focus on OL and defense in the draft. I think there would be ALOT of upside to passing on Cutler and grabbing Scheffler.

by south123 on Mar 17, 2009 5:44 PM EDT reply actions

Yup, right on the head

Like you I have kept telling people the ONLY person who is actually UP for trading is Scheffler, and that is the only guy Cook can actually shop. Now, when he talks to team about Tony, if Cutler comes up, thats fine, but Tony is the only Bronco on the move right now. I think we get him for a 4th or a 5th since he is not in McDaniel’s plans (they have Graham and they just signed Jeb Putzier, which is like signing Pee Wee Herman, but its still a body).

If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.
