NFL Draft day Looming
The Bills will keep JP (Lose-man) Losman.
THE STORY:
In a league where very few quarterbacks remain injury free for an entire season, the Buffalo Bills plan on having J.P. Losman on their roster in 2008 playing backup to Trent Edwards.
Losman, who is entering his fifth NFL season, has requested he be traded and a prime opportunity to do so for the Bills is next weekend during the college draft.
But Chief Operating Officer Russ Brandon said today during a pre-draft luncheon with reporters at the stadium that club isn’t planning to do that.
“J.P.’s on this roster and he’s part of this organization,’’ Brandon said. “I’ve stated it a few weeks ago and I’ll state it again: we anticipate him being on this team. Sixty-four quarterbacks started in the NFL last year, I think the highest in about 30 years. You need two good ones. J.P. is under contract and he’s here and that’s how we’re approaching it.’’
Losman is in the final year of his contract so if Buffalo doesn’t trade him, they’ll receive nothing in return for him because his agent has made it clear his client won’t re-sign with the team.
