Parish the thought, Roscoe isn't going no where

The Buffalo Bills, after dangling receiver/return specialist Roscoe Parrish for weeks, are now expected not to trade Parrish to a new team before Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.

Parrish was a healthy scratch on Sunday against the Jets due to the possibility that a deal would be struck. (Profootballtalk)

Mind of Joe
Well that's just great! I'll be honest, I'm not that disappointed the Bills didn't trade Parrish, even though I've wanted him gone all along. But being on the trade block, to a healthy scratch, to not even getting traded is going to piss him off.

It takes me back to last year, when the Bills traded McCargo and the deal fell through because of his failed physical. McCargo wasn't too happy about coming back, and judging by his play, you wouldn't even know he's still in Buffalo.

We all know Parrish has an ego. Hell, he thinks he's the next Santana Moss of the NFL (even though Moss blows). I'm sure Peter King's articles on Parrish being the key to the Bills season probably went to his head.

But at the end of the day, I don't blame Roscoe for his emotions. Parrish wanted to be gone and by playing the deactivation card, so did the Bills. The Bills shouldn't of deactivated him unless they had a sure fire deal on the table for him. Hell, the Bills should of wanted to play him and showcase his skills to other teams. Now the Bills and Roscoe have to kiss and make-up. Just another boneheaded move by the Bills, but are we really surprised?
