Losman Could Start For Injured Edwards

Aug 10, 2014 6:32 AM

J.P. Losman lost his job as the Bills' starting quarterback due to injury this season. Now, Trent Edwards can wonder if it's his turn. Coach Dick Jauron gave the quarterback revolving door another spin Monday, a day after Edwards sprained his right wrist and watched from the sideline while Losman stepped in to lead the Bills to a 13-3 win over the New York Jets. Jauron said it's too early to determine whether Edwards' throwing hand will recover in time to play this weekend when the Bills (3-4) host Cincinnati (2-5). And yet, the coach declined to say whether Edwards, the rookie third-round pick, would reclaim the job once he's healthy.

Source: Losman Saga Dictated By Money

Oct 28, 2014 11:29 PM

Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson Jr. is under scrutiny from his players after rookie Trent Edwards was named the starting quarterback again this week, even though incumbent J.P. Losman is healthy, according to a source. One Bills player who wished to remain anonymous said many in the locker room believe Wilson's financial plight or philosophy has influenced the decision, which could save him millions in playing time incentives for Losman. In his first full season as a starter in 2006, Losman was the league's 11th-rated passer. He was also fourth in completions longer than 40 yards and was voted a team captain by his teammates this past summer. Losman will be a free agent after the 2008 season, so a new contract was on the horizon, too.

Bills Top Ravens In McGahee's Return To Buffalo

Oct 31, 2014 6:22 AM

The Bills finally built a lead they couldn't squander and upstaged Willis McGahee in his first game back to Buffalo. Making good on an opportunity to secure the starting job, rookie quarterback Trent Edwards went 11-of-21 for 153 yards and engineered five scoring drives in helping Buffalo to a 19-14 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The Bills' defense did its part, limiting the Ravens to two scores despite six drives into Buffalo territory. That included Baltimore's final drive when Kyle Boller couldn't convert a fourth-and-1 from the Buffalo 49, his pass falling just out of the reach of Musa Smith with 1:49 remaining.
