‘Teams also can begin making trades March 2, and the Cardinals are expected to deal tackle L.J. Shelton at some point. One possibility is to Buffalo for disgruntled running back Travis Henry, a deal that would likely have to include a contract extension for Henry to get completed. The Cardinals are playing coy on any of the Shelton talks, although they are known to be in discussions about dealing Shelton for Henry.’

‘The Bills are confident the more mobile Losman will add spark to their 25th-ranked offense. But will reliability be sacrificed for versatility?’

‘”The sense that I got from talking to (Bills head coach) Mike Mularkey and (Bills president/general manager) Tom Donahoe was that the move was more that they felt like they needed to get the other kid on the field,” said Bledsoe, who signed a three-year deal with Dallas on Wednesday. “I suppose I can understand that. It wasn’t something that I agreed with, but I’ve moved on and moved on to something that I believe is better.”‘

‘Bledsoe doesn’t fit as a player nearing career sunset. In fact, he should be at or near career peak. Even his near peak looks better to me than the offerings of predecessors Quincy Carter, Anthony Wright, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner, Chad Hutchinson and Testaverde. Who among them was better?’

‘One surprising statement made by Bledsoe was he was upset Mike Mularkey didn’t open up the job to a competition between him and J.P. Losman. Had that happened, Bledsoe indicated he may have stayed. He said he couldn’t live with not being given a chance to hold on to his job.’

‘"I’m very excited to be a Dallas Cowboy. I can’t wait to go home and dress my kids with the little stars and get rid of the old gear from the other team," Bledsoe said.’
