Just a stroll down memory lane:
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Chan Gailey needed to see Ryan Fitzpatrick put some life into Buffalo's anemic offense just once before deciding Trent Edwards was expendable.
"After the way that Fitz played yesterday, I feel very confident about the direction we're going," Buffalo's first-year coach said Monday, a day after the Bills (0-3) were beaten 38-30 by the New England Patriots. "Trent did the best he could, and he's a great young man and I wish him the best."
The Bills waived Edwards in a surprising move Monday, a few weeks after Gailey said he saw "light at the end of the tunnel" with Edwards as his starter.
The Bills had been shopping Edwards before his release, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. To take Edwards' roster spot, the Bills plan to re-sign quarterback Levi Brown, whom they released this summer, a league source told Schefter. Brown was drafted by the Bills in the seventh round of the 2010 draft out of Troy University.
