Billshit! Buffalo Won't Trade For Leinart

Sources: Matt Leinart trade discussed

The Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders and New York Giants have had discussions about trading for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart, league sources tell ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.



Leinart and the Cardinals are tiring of each other and as each day passes, many believe a trade of Leinart, who is unhappy that he's not starting, is more likely with roster moves coming this weekend, sources said.

And one executive told ESPN.com's Mike Sando that the Cardinals were calling around, trying to gauge the market for Leinart.

The Bills' website said the team has not discussed trading for Leinart and will not trade for him. But two sources said the Bills had ongoing discussions this summer with the Cardinals regarding a trade for Leinart.

Bills offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins coached Arizona's running backs last year. He is a big Leinart proponent and explained to Bills officials why he believed the team should make a trade for Leinart, a league source said.

Buffalo, however, is unlikely to trade for Leinart because the Bills are uncomfortable about bringing aboard the quarterback's contract, which carries a $2.485 million base salary this season and balloons to $7.36 million next season.

I'm tired of the Bills and ESPN getting my hopes up with stories like this. Its obvious the Bills aren't going to trade for Leinart. Why? Because trading for a guy who has only incompleted four balls this preseason might actually make their team better and who could allow that? They'd much rather stick with a QB who gets rattled by heckling fans during practice. Maybe Leinart's USC degree doesn't fit in the Bills' pedigree of educated, yet awful passers. This team can only get worse and they haven't even played a real game yet. You know what it is? Its Billshit!
