With the draft only 30 days and some loose change away, many are wondering what the Bills are going to do. One of those many is myself.
The Bills are signing free agents at a snail's pace. Without boring you to much, the few things the Bills organization has done really has me wondering. The Bills have a new "big name coach," new GM, no T.O., uncertainty at QB, an over-paid running back, no offensive scheme or offense for that matter, a left guard who retired at the tender age of 24, a defensive end who doesn't know if he wants to retire nor will he let the franchise know, and most importantly fans who are fed up with losing.
So where do they go from here? Well, first they need to be more aggressive in free agency. Signing offensive tackle, Cornell Green last week and linebacker, [...]

Well, March madness has arrived and it's not just basketball this year. This has been a really strange off-season so far. In two weeks time, there has been much to reflect on. Some expected, some just flat out mind numbing. Lets start with some of the things we all saw coming.
Brett Favre hasn't decided if he's going to retire or not. No surprise there. I wouldn't expect his answer to come until August. There is no way he's going to suck it up and go through the OTAs. Even at 40 years old he's still one of the best in the game. Sure, he makes mistakes but last season proved he could limit those mistakes and give his team a serious chance at a Championship. Ironically, it was his final mistake that sealed the Vikings fate for 2009.
Mike Holmgren has completely revamped the 2010 [...]

Brady Quinn is as Irish as it gets.
OK, he's not from Ireland, or even a red head, but his last name suggests Irish roots.
And it doesn't end there, no it's only the beginning laddie.
Aye, Quinn played in Dublin. Well, Dublin, Ohio at Dublin Coffman High School.
At Dublin High, Quinn played well enough to be listed as ESPN's No. 20 on the list of 100 top prep football players.
Next up for this Irish lad was what other than Notre Dame.
As the leader of the Fighting Irish, Quinn broke and set 36 Notre Dame passing records; including completions, yards per game (239.6) and touchdowns [...]

It was a classic spit take.
Upon reading the news of Brady Quinn's trade to the Denver Broncos for fullback Peyton Hillis and two late round draft picks, I proceeded to soak my laptop screen in soda. It completely caught me off guard.
What was surprising was not that Quinn got moved but rather where he got moved to. It was beginning to look like the Broncos were going to commit to Kyle Orton for the foreseeable future. Analysts thought the Broncos would ride Orton for a few years while head coach Josh McDaniels developed a draft pick.
Not anymore.
A year ago, McDaniels stirred the pot by attempting to trade then-starter Jay Cutler to acquire Matt Cassel from New England. That didn't work. Cutler got mad and was on his way to Chicago while Orton was sent to Denver. Orton had not [...]

The Cleveland Browns have traded two former first round draft picks Brady Quinn and Kameron Wimbley. Quinn goes to Denver for fullback Peyton Hillis, a 2011 6th round pick and a conditional pick in the 2012 draft. Wimbley was dealt to Oakland. There is no word yet on what the Browns will receive in return for Wimbley.
While the trade of Quinn was expected, I didn't see the Wimbley trade coming. Wimbley was the Browns first pick and 13th overall in the 2006 draft and Quinn was selected number 22 overall in the 2007 draft. Eric Mangini said at the end of last season that he was very pleased with the improvement that was made by Wimbley. Evidently Mike Holmgren and Ton Heckert didn't share the same opinion as Mangini.
Quinn will be going to a team in Denver where he may have a chance [...]

The Cleveland Browns have signed Jake Delhomme to a two year contract as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. Delhomme, who is 35, was recently released by the Carolina Panthers. He will join Seneca Wallace, Brady Quinn and Brett Ratliff as Browns quarterbacks for now.
Instead of clearing up the Browns quarterback picture, it just got foggier than ever. Who will the starter be? One thing is for sure, the debate that has raged in Cleveland the last three plus years over Quinn vs Anderson is over. Anderson has been released and Quinn will surely be traded now that Delhomme has been signed.
Who will Quinn be traded to is the next question. The former first round pick never lived up to all the hype and hope that Browns fans had for him. Quinn has been more of a fan favorite instead of a [...]

The Cleveland Browns have finally released Derek Anderson. In a move that comes as a surprise to no one, Anderson is no longer a Cleveland Brown. After spending five years in Cleveland and with a pro bowl season in 2007, DA can best be described as inconsistent.
Newly acquired Seneca Wallace, Brady Quinn and Brett Ratliff now make up Cleveland's quarterback roster. But for how long? Is Mike Holmgren done with his QB search or is he just beginning? Who will be the starter in 2010? Will Brady Quinn even be on the team next season? The answers to these questions will probably be revealed in the near future.
Mike Holmgren brought Wallace to Cleveland in case he can't swing a trade for a starting quarterback. If he does, then Wallace can be a fine backup. If no trade is made, he will be [...]

Trade
According to ESPN's John Clayton and Adam Schefter the Seattle Seahawks have completed a trade that will send Seahawks backup quarterback to the Cleveland Browns for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.With the acquisition of Wallace, he gets the opportunity to reunite with former head coach Mike Holmgren in Cleveland and possibly get the chance to be a full time starting quarterback in the NFL.
Wallace now joins Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn as the three quarterbacks in Cleveland. However with Mike Holmgren being the man in charge it's been rumored recently that Anderson will be cut in the coming weeks and Brady Quinn could either be [...]

There are many rumors and opinions about who will be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns in 2010, but so far nothings changed. Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson and Brett Ratliff are still on the Browns roster as day two of the trading period and free agency winds down.
So far Mike Holmgren has remained tight lipped about who he's interested in. Names thrown around by the media the last two days include Seneca Wallace, Matt Flynn, Kevin Kolb, Donavon McNabb, and David Carr.
Getting Kolb or McNabb from the Eagles would come at a steep price. If Holmgren is convinced either QB would greatly improve the Browns offense, then he would be wise to make the deal. Cleveland has spent its share of millions over the last decade looking for a franchise QB. Putting that search to bed [...]

The Cleveland Browns need to find a quarterback. This is not news to anyone who has followed the Browns for the last decade. Tim couch, Kelly Holcomb, Jeff Garcia, Luke McCown, Trent Dilfer, Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn have each taken their turn during that time. Now with Mike Holmgren calling the shots for the Browns organization, who will be the next in line to play QB for the Browns?
Unless Cleveland is able to make a deal for a veteran signal caller, Brady Quinn will probably be given another chance. Anderson is due a two million dollar roster bonus and will probably be released in a few days. Holmgren has said very little about Quinn and that could mean he's studying his options via trade or free agency. It's my guess that Quinn will be given another year to [...]
