One name to watch for the head-coaching opening at Buffalo is former Bills linebacker Jim Haslett, who makes sense for a couple of reasons. His name is still popular among Bills fans, and he's had success as a head coach in New Orleans and in the new UFL. He'll be available after the UFL season.Another name that could be interesting is Montreal Alouettes head coach Mark Trestman, who has taken the team deep into the CFL playoffs after 15-3 regular season. It is not known whether Wilson would want an offensive or defensive head coach. He isn't going to hire an expensive coach after the decision to let Dick Jauron walk with two years remaining on his contract at $3 million a season. Trestman runs an offense that works in cold weather, which is essential in Buffalo.
The end for Edwards? It's pretty evident the Bills will go to
Ryan Fitzpatrick this week at quarterback, even though an announcement isn't expected until Wednesday. The benching of
Trent Edwards probably ends his run as the Bills' starting quarterback. His growth as a starter has been negatively affected by bad offensive line play and constant coordinator changes. Edwards' demise will put the Bills in the market for a quarterback in 2010.
Suggs update: The early word on Ravens linebacker
Terrell Suggs, according to a source, is that he suffered an MCL sprain in Monday night's win. Suggs spent Tuesday getting checkups on the knee. He'll likely he will be out a couple of weeks, but he won't be out for the season.
