‘It is uncertain whether the Bills are looking to deal Losman or merely trying to gauge interest in him. But the growing whispers about a possible trade are not a good sign. Signing free agent Craig Nall as a third candidate for the starting quarterback job was already an indication that Losman is not held in the same regard by G.M. Marv Levy and Jauron as the Tom Donahoe-Mike Mularkey regime. Still, trading Losman doesn’t make much sense. It wouldn’t look good if the team to gives up on him so soon. In addition, the team wouldn’t get much for him because he hasn’t accomplished anything in the league yet.’

‘The Patriots reportedly made a bid for Moulds, but were never considered serious players.’

‘Before the Texans acquire Moulds, however, they must first strike a deal with Bills officials. Buffalo is said to be seeking a fourth-round choice in exchange for Moulds, who twice rejected overtures to readjust his contact so he could stay with the Bills. Houston is believed to have offered a fifth-round choice in the 2006 draft as compensation for the 10-year veteran.’

‘Jauron said he wants to have a starter penciled in by the time summer training camp starts in July, making these spring sessions vitally important to the overall evaluation process. "It’s not like training camp and it’s not like playing the game," Jauron said during a coaches breakfast at the NFL owner’s meetings in Orlando, Fla. "But we get to see them. We get to see them think, we get to see them in the huddle, get the feel for the team around them. It’s still not the game. But it is important."’

‘The Bills set a record for fewest yards gained in a 16-game, non-strike season with 4,122, setting the stage for a major overhaul of their front wall. The addition of 6-3, 295-pound Melvin Fowler at center is a start.’

‘There’s a growing belief that the Bills may not be eyeing Oregon DT Haloti Ngata after all with the No. 8 overall pick in the NFL draft.’

‘Buffalo and Houston, the teams not the metropoli, must agree on a trade before Moulds can officially become a Texan. The wide-out is scheduled to meet with the Texans coaching staff and officials, and undergo officials. The sources say no deal will be struck before the meeting.’
