Parrish on the trading block again


















A league source tells PFT's Mike Florio that Roscoe Parrish is on the trade block and he could be dealt as soon as the week. Possible destinations include the Chiefs, Jaguars, and Redskins.

The Bills are rather short on the offensive line, but it seems more likely that Buffalo would be able to get a late-round draft pick in exchange for Parrish, who is under contract through 2011.

Parrish has no catches on the season as a wide receiver. He has one punt return for five yards.

Mind of Joe
I've written in the past that I'm not a big fan of Roscoe Parrish. But why trade him now? Leodis McKelvin got injured on Sunday and that means the Bills are suddenly thin at kick returner. The obvious thing would be to put Parrish in as a kick returner. By trading Parrish and not knowing the extent of McKelvin's injury, the Bills would be putting in a new kick and punt returner. Again, it's like the Langston Walker situation, why trade him now and not during the offseason? Especially when a trade won't help the Bills until next year.
