The Buffalo Bills' ever-changing quarterback picture took another interesting turn this morning as the team announced it has signed Brian Brohm to its active roster. To make room for Brohm, the Bills released third-string quarterback Gibran Hamdan. Wednesday, new coach Perry Fewell announced that Ryan Fitzpatrick would be taking over as the starter in place of Trent Edwards. Now, he has added a former college star to the future mix. Brohm was a highly regarded player coming out of Louisville who set several career passing records at the school and was a second-round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2008. However, he struggled in preseason games and served as the team's third-string ..."

Quarterback Brian Brohm is no longer a member of the Green Bay Packers' organization. And this time that was his choice. On the practice squad since being cut by the Packers at the final roster trim before the regular season, Brohm was signed Wednesday night by the Buffalo Bills to their active roster, a source said. The Packers had an open roster spot after waiving wide receiver Jake Allen and attempted to retain Brohm by offering the same two-year deal as the Bills did. But in the end, the Packers' second-round pick in 2008 thought it best to go to a team searching for a quarterback, not stay on one that has its long-term answer at the position in Aaron Rodgers. Brohm also gets a chance ..."

Marv Levy's mark on the Buffalo Bills as a head coach is indelible. More than 110 victories in 12 seasons. Four Super Bowl appearances. A bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Levy's mark on the team as general manager? Not so indelible. He oversaw front-office operations for just two years and did so as a favor to owner Ralph Wilson, who needed someone he trusted to "put the train back on the tracks," as he called it, after five years of turmoil under Tom Donahoe. That train has intermittently jumped on and off the tracks over the past four seasons under Dick Jauron, the coach Levy hired in what was his most important decision as Bills GM. On Tuesday, the Disoriented Express officially ..."

If Tony Dungy believes Michael Vick would be a good fit in Buffalo, Donte Whitner is on board. Confident Vick can regain his once-dynamic form, the Bills safety said Monday he would encourage his team to pursue Vick if the Eagles decide to release Vick in the offseason. In noting he was a proponent of the Bills pursuing Vick since before he signed with Philadelphia in August, Whitner said he's more convinced Buffalo can use him next season. Without specifically naming Bills starter Trent Edwards or backup Ryan Fitzpatrick, Whitner noted that players — himself included — are replaceable. "If you're not getting the job done, then they're going to bring in other players. It's a competition ..."

Tony Dungy says Michael Vick could potentially wind up in Buffalo, which he says previously discussed signing the quarterback. Dungy has served as an adviser to Vick since the Super Bowl-winning coach retired from the Colts after last season. Now a commentator for NBC, Dungy confirmed during the pregame show Sunday night before Philadelphia hosted Dallas that the Bills and Vick "talked originally" when Vick was searching for a team after serving 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring. The Eagles signed Vick to a $1.6 million contract for 2009, with a team option for the second year at $5.2 million. But he has played sparingly. "I told Michael to just worry about this ..."

The status of Bills quarterback Trent Edwards remained status quo on Monday, meaning his condition will not be updated publicly until at least Wednesday. Coach Dick Jauron said Edwards was able to fly back from New York with the team Sunday night, but he had no more details on the concussion Edwards suffered in the second quarter of Buffalo's 16-13 victory over the Jets. "We'll take that day to day and see how he comes out of this thing," Jauron said. Edwards was replaced by backup Ryan Fitzpatrick, who helped lead Buffalo back from a 13-3 halftime deficit. Fitzpatrick completed only 10 of 25 passes for 116 yards on a windy day at the Meadowlands, but one was a perfectly thrown slant to ..."

There was a suggestion made by a reporter at ESPN on Tuesday that the Buffalo Bills should consider trading wide receiver Terrell Owens before the NFL's Tuesday trading deadline. And the logic isn't flawed because the Bills — who clearly have not been able to utilize Owens thus far — could get a draft pick in return for a player who will likely walk away at the end of the season with no return. However, coach Dick Jauron said there have been no trade discussions, and Owens isn't really interested. "Whether it happens or not I don't know," Owens said. "I'm committed right here until it does happen. I'm not saying that it will, but I'm committed (to Buffalo)." New players at work: With two ..."

Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson attended the Bills' Quarterback Club luncheon this afternoon at HSBC Arena and addressed coach Dick Jauron's status. "Yesterday was so bad that it's hard to make a decision right now," Wilson said. "I'm not going to make any decisions during the middle of the season right now. At least not right now." Wilson, who turns 91 on Saturday, tried to make light of the Bills' performance when he spoke to the fan club. "They can't do this to me much longer," he said. "There's not much I can say about yesterday except it was awful." Back at the stadium, Jauron would not address his status."

As expected, the news on Brad Butler Monday afternoon was not good. The Bills' starting right tackle will miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury he suffered Sunday against Tampa Bay, and for the time being inexperienced fourth-year pro Jonathan Scott will take his place. "Unfortunately we will lose Brad for the year," Bills coach Dick Jauron said during a briefing with reporters. "We will miss Brad. That was a tough one. He will require surgery and it won't be scheduled for a little while and then I wouldn't get into the details." Butler wasn't alone on the trainers' table after the game. Tight end Derek Schouman also went down with a knee injury, cornerback Leodis McKelvin ..."

The Bills waived five players Thursday, not long after their mandatory minicamp ended. Undrafted rookies Joel Bell, John Faletoese and Gerald Washington along with first-year player Kyle Ward and veteran Blake Costanzo were waived. Costanzo was the only player who had previously appeared in an NFL game with the Bills, according to BuffaloBills.com. The linebacker was a special teams performer who had spent part of the last two seasons with the Bills. Three of the other players who were waived also play defense. Ward is a cornerback, Faletoese a tackle and Washington a defensive end, On offense Bell played right tackle during most of the minicamp. and worked hard, but with veteran Kirk ..."
