The Bills aren't fooling anyone

It was reported Wednesday that the Pittsburgh Steelers are shopping quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to the teams that are in the top 10 of Thursday National Football League Draft.   With the Buffalo Bills selecting ninth and needing a quarterback naturally they were of course one of the teams that got a phone call, which they denied.

Of course the Bills aren’t fooling anyone as of course they are interested as Bills head coach Chan Gailey himself stated they like to have the quarterback position settled before the Draft.

There was a conflicting report earlier in the day as ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that the Bills said no to the Steelers about Roethlisberger.

What most likely happened is that when the Steelers called and general manager Buddy Nix asked what they are asking for in return for Roethlisberger, which was probably two first round draft picks, they replied no as the price was too high for a guy that is one incident away from a one year suspension.

If the price was right of course they would be interested in Roethlisberger who wouldn’t as the guy is a franchise quarterback.

What the Bills are doing is waiting for the price of Roethlisberger to come down to a more reasonable level like two second round draft picks as they have three quarterbacks that are all capable of starting for Gailey and doing a decent job as he has a reputation for building backup quarterbacks into franchise players.

In the end, the Bills are playing it right the only problem there could be is the Oakland Raiders as owner Al Davis is an absolute fool that over pays for players.
