There are reports that Mike Vick is in Buffalo. NFL.com, adam schefter, profootballtalk, espn, etc all are reporting that Buffalo is a potential landing spot.
I am pretty shocked. Several weeks ago GM Russ Brandon came out and said the bills have no interest in Vick. He did throw out the very sneaky "at this time" caveat.
Would I be interested...absolutely. Give me a chance to get an absolute stud athlete and confirmed criminal on my beloved team and I would be ecstatic. From a football standpoint its got to be unnerving for Trent Edwards. Granted Vick probably isnt ready to play and is not in football shape, let alone he has a suspension to at least week 6 likely looming, but Trent Edwards has not secured anything in Buffalo. Sure, they are trying to make him the franchise QB, but the bottom line is he is in year 3 and hasn't won anything. Once they start losing some games and if they had Vick on the bench you would bet TO will be barking up a storm.
Donte Whitner also tweeted yesterday that he would love for Vick to be on the Bills and that everyone deserves a second chance. Not sure if that was a general statement or was made because he may have heard some inside knowledge.....
Stay tuned....Buffalo Bills...the home of the new Dawg Pound??
Ralph just trying to sell more tickets before he goes.
ReplyDeleteAnd then again this report from the Bills Camp is just this...so some serious mixed signals...
ReplyDelete"It has been communicated to me through the chain of command at One Bills Drive that the Buffalo Bills stand by their original statement that the team has no interest in adding Michael Vick to the roster at this time."
If Vick signs with the Bills I will abandon the Raiders as long as TO and Mexico are on the same team. Any chance of Buffalo picking up Pacman Jones?
ReplyDeleteJust want to point something out. Headline posted on Profootballtalk.com about the Vick statement on Bills adding Vick was made at 4:29. The exact same statment was reported on the PewchRevolution at 4:21. This blog just gets the news out quicker then other "real" sources.

Bills reiterate no interest in Vick "at this time"

Per Chris Brown of the Bills' official web site, "It has been communicated to me through the chain of command at One Bills Drive that the Buffalo Bills stand by their original statement that the team has no interest in adding Michael Vick to the roster at this time."
