‘Edwards is working with Buffalo’s top receivers, Terrell Owens and Lee Evans, an indication he’s prepared to reclaim his job. Backup Ryan Fitzpatrick helped the Bills go 2-1 after Edwards was hurt in a 16-13 overtime win over the Jets on Oct. 18.’

‘”If you’re not getting the job done, then they’re going to bring in other players. It’s a competition thing,” Whitner said. “You bring in other guys that can get the job done that can help you win. I would welcome bringing in Michael Vick.”‘

‘”That hasn’t been decided yet,” said Edwards when asked if he’ll be the starter. “I haven’t met with all the doctors yet or anything. So I’m still kind of feeling good and getting better each day. (Monday) felt great so you’d have to talk to those guys about it. It was the same last week. I was working with all the guys (at practice). It’s more like a bye week practice today. We had some Tennessee work today, but it was more like bye week preparation.”‘

‘”Standing up the ankle felt fine, but as soon as you try to drive off the foot or turn it wasn’t working. I had pain down the inside of my ankle and around the back by my Achilles. It was not good.”‘

‘ However, I think it would be a HUGE mistake for the Bills to sign Vick, despite the obvious fact they need an upgrade at quarterback and Vick still may have some upside left. The Bills need a lot more than one player. The signing of T.O. certainly proves that even a high profile signing can’t mask the other glaring weaknesses, like an under achieving offensive line and two quarterbacks who don’t appear to be the long term answer.’

‘”But I think a dark horse is Buffalo. They talked originally. There was some communication there. I think that could be a good spot.”‘
