Trade Possiblility-- Jake Delhomme to Buffalo (pure speculation on my part)

Buffalo Bills coach Chan Gailey said today that he's interested in acquiring a veteran quarterback.

"This is a quarterback-driven league at this point," Gailey said. "It hasn't always been that way, but it seems to have become more so in the last decade or so. You have to have a quality player there. It does not have to be a big-name player. You just have to have quality production. That's the decision you're trying to make."

Tim Graham of ESPN.com reports that Gailey acknowledged the rumors that the Bills are interested in trading for a quarterback, including possibly acquiring Michael Vick in a trade with the Eagles. But Gailey said he hasn't finished evaluating the three quarterbacks he inherited, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Trent Edwards and Brian Brohm.

"The staff got together completely yesterday," Gailey said. "We've been spending the last day and a half going through the evaluation process. I've looked at them quite a bit but I want the rest of the offensive staff to look at quarterbacks and let's get a good evaluation of where we think we are today and where we need to be. . . . Before we get to the first day of free agency we'll have a good idea of where we need to be."

Video of Gailey's press conference today is available at BuffaloBills.com.

This is pure fantasy on my part. When I read this I thought about Jake. Im sure it won't happen. But I can dream right?

Anybody that would trade for Jake and his contract would be laughed out of the NFL, IMHO.

[CRA]

Jake is literally untradeable at this moment in time.

I wish they were stupid enough to do it, trust me. But nobody, and I mean nobody in the NFL would trade for Jake.

What if we throw in a large bucket of BBQ from Lexington

Imagine the market for Bojangles up north

I wouldn't be surprise if it is Vick. After all, he did sign a one year contract with the Eagles & I'm sure he want to be a starter. With how McNabb will be a starter again with them next year, Vick might be the guy Bills could look. Even thought Vick is hardly a QB, but other in the NFL think so.

Maybe if we give them julius peppers they'll take him.

[Proudiddy]

No one will trade for Jake. And even if they wanted to, Fox wouldn't let him go.

Haha I hope some blogger or media outlet sees this thread and reports it as a legit rumor.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

I can see it in the headlines:

"The Bills take Jake Delhomme out of the hands of the Panthers, along with next season's 1st, 2nd, and 5th round picks."

Well at least we'd know who'd be starting next season!

that's the problem right there - his contract. if he were at a pay-grade equivalent to his production, he'd be the kind of vet that'd be brought in for a few looks... but absolutely nobody would be stupid enough to eat that contract.
