Bills say they are not in the Vick sweepstakes
PITTSFORD, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills say they are not pursuing Michael Vick and have no plans to do so.
A burst of chatter on blogs, message boards and tweets about Buffalo being a possible match for the recently reinstated quarterback prompted Bills general manager Russ Brandon to address the question again on Thursday.
Brandon said he’s sticking to the statement he made two weeks ago, when he said the Bills “have no interest at this time” in Vick. The general manager said he’s comfortable with the team’s roster and the Bills are settled on Trent Edwards as their starting quarterback.
He says Buffalo isn’t looking at Vick to fill another position.

I hear the protests now from any team who takes on Vick. Too many animal lovers. The level of torture was too great for Vick to ever be looked upon as a role model again. He’s not worth the trouble for any team. Families will be afraid to attend games with their children because of the risk of protestors. Don’t underestimate the rage that Vick has brought out in many. Say No To Vick. |
