Whose Youboty staying in Buffalo

For the moment, the Cleveland Browns won’t be acquiring Ashton Youboty from the Buffalo Bills. It’s no secret that the Browns need corner back depth, but as you can tell by this they are setting the bar low. Looking more for positional depth (Youboty), then outstanding starter (Lito Sheppard). So, right now, the Bills aren’t considering trading Youboty, but that could change as the team has quite a bit of depth in the secondary. Read more

A wide receiver actually talking long term?

Could it be a star wide receiver actually wants to stay with his current team? It sure sounds like it! Lee Evans has confirmed that he and the Buffalo Bills have been talking about a long-term extension. It is refreshing to hear this, after all the rumors this off-season about someone wants a new deal, this guy wants a trade, etc. Evans is currently in the final year of his initial contract and from the sounds of it, he wants to be a Bill. “With the talent we have on offense, we certainly have the ability to be as good as we want to be,” Evans said. “The biggest thing for us now is to gain confidence. If we can do that, we’ll be a very good offensive team.” Read more

Is Crumpler close to a deal with Seattle?

Is former Atlanta Falcons tight end, Alge Crumpler close to a deal with the Seattle Seahawks? All depends which newspaper report you want to believe. Lets first start with the facts. Crumpler was with his agent, James Williams, in Seattle today. Crumpler did take a physical. The two sides did discuss money and what it would be like for Crumpler to play for the Seahawks.

Thats about the last of the true facts. Lets break down the rumors.

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports that Crumpler is close to a deal with the Seahawks. “The connection with the people that have left the Falcons is important,” Williams said. “With Coach [Jim] Mora, Mr. [Tim] Ruskell and Patrick Kerney in Seattle, that causes us to be comfortable.” Connectiions? Mora former coach, Ruskell for Atlanta GM, and Kerney former teammate.

The News-Tribune reports that there is no deal in place and not even a firm contract offer on the table. Frank Hughes of the news-tribune.com says that he spoke with Crumpler’s agent about a few things. Those include Crumpler not signing a deal but that they are confident Seattle could make the room underneath the salary cap to sign his client. When asked about Crumpler’s physical, the response was “I don’t want to speak for them, but I think it went fine.”

So really this whole Crumpler situation is still up in the air and no where close to being solved. Just like I said in an earlier post this thing will be fun to watch unfold. Crumpler has already visited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Tennessee Titans. He should soon be on his way for a meet and greet with the Buffalo Bills coaching and management staff. I do wonder thou how healthy he is thou with that comment from his agent on the physical status.

Bills shopping Losman?

Buffalo Bills J.P. Losman is entering the last year of his initial rookie contract that he signed as a 1st round pick in the 2004 season. Well he has asked to be traded now, no surprise there since he has already made it known that he plans on leaving Buffalo when the deal expires and shoot for a starting job elsewhere. The Bills on the other hand would love to just keep him around one more year at a cheap salary.

So on to the trade possibilities, two teams have already inquired about his services. The Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins have all talked to the Bills during this weeks NFL Scouting Combine. It’s not really known what the Bills would be looking for but it might wind up being a MLB type trade where the team wants to just get something instead of letting a player walk in free agency.

For the Dolphins, well they need almost everything, so Losman could literally walk in and probably start right away. For the Chiefs, Losman would be in direct competition with Brodie Croyle, which might be what Croyle needs to light a fire under his ass and get him to finally perform.

But the wild card is always does coach Dick Jauron want to just keep J.P. around and have a back-up who is extremely cheap with game experience. Trent Edwards did do well last year but injuries can happen on any snap and take him out for the year. Personally, I don’t think a deal will happen before training camp. Late training camp, early in the season thou well thats a possibility.

Crumpler to meet with 7 teams.

Free agent Alge Crumpler plans to meet with around 7 teams at next weeks NFL Draft Combine. “My agent was getting so many phone calls that I thought it would easier just to go there and meet with everybody,” Crumpler said by phone from Phoenix, where he has been working out, just before catching a flight to Indy. “I really didn’t want to go to five or six cities around the country.” The teams who look to be still in the hunt are….

• Buffalo Bills
• Tampa Bay Buccanneers
• Detroit Lions
• Green Bay Packers
• Carolina Panthers
• Seattle Seahawks
• Tennessee Titans

Looking at that list, who can use his services the most? I’d say Buffalo, Detroit, Seattle and Tennessee. In Green Bay, Alge would be nothing but a back up to Donald Lee. Tampa Bay well they have Alex Smith. So those two teams have solid options, but adding a second option like Crumpler could be big. It’s going to be an interesting scenario to see play out.
