Buffalo Bills

 

For the Bills to be a potential suitor for Vince Young, Edwards has to play like he has the past two seasons.  Although Edwards led the Bills to a surprising 5-1 start last season, the team failed to make the playoffs after losing eight of their last ten games.

 

Edwards did not play very well after suffering a concussion in the Bills 41-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.  When he returned, he was not nearly as effective as he was at the beginning of the season.

 

If Edwards continues to regress this season, the Bills will be looking in a different direction.  Young could replace Edwards, and Edwards could be a good replacement for Young in Tennessee.

 

 

St. Louis Rams

 

The Rams could be looking to find a replacement for Marc Bulger.  Bulger has not been the same quarterback since the 2004 season, dealing with both injuries and inconsistent play. 

 

This could be a nice change of scenery in St. Louis for Vince Young.  The Rams have a good running game and have a very good wide receiver in Donny Avery.  Young is another playmaker that could provide some spark to the Rams offense.

 

 

San Francisco 49ers

 

The San Francisco 49ers are still looking to find a consistent starting quarterback since Jeff Garcia left in 2004.  No. 1 overall Alex Smith has yet to live up to his potential, and the 49ers have really struggled to find his replacement.

 

Shaun Hill and Alex Smith should be entangled in a QB battle in training camp, but the 49ers could look to acquire Vince Young to be their starting quarterback.  Young could be that consistent starter San Francisco is looking for.

 

All of these scenarios of course depend on the Tennessee Titans.  If Young wins the starting QB job in training camp, he would be happy to stay in Nashville.  If Kerry Collins is the Titans starter, look for Young to ask for a trade to be a starter somewhere else.
