BillsWatch Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Reading article on Fox and it still lists Tyler Thigpen as member of the Bills. http://msn.foxsports.com/lacesout/tyler-thigpen-drew-stanton-the-only-two-qbs-who-are-currently-employed-from-07-draft-class/ Yes, you read that right. On Friday morning, the Cardinals cut Kevin Kolb, leaving just one QB (Tyler Thigpen) from the 2007 NFL Draft class employed in the league. That was until the move the Cardinals made a few hours later, inking Drew Stanton to a deal. Why should you care? Because that means Stanton and Thigpen are the ONLY quarterbacks from that class who are currently employed. Have not even heard of him even being brought in by any team for a visit.

apuszczalowski Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Could he be refering to another Thigpen? Wait, this is a national media article talking about this, they probably know as much about the Bills organisation as a blind person knows about colours............

Billy in 4C Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thigpen's best Bills highlight is getting nailed in the head warming up on the sideline. That was his only contribution to the team. He will be lucky to be a 3rd stringer on a desperate team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Wait, this is a national media article talking about this, they probably know as much about the Bills organisation as a blind person knows about colours............ You have a high opinion on the depth of knowledge the National Media possesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He signed a three year deal and unmercifully lasted three years with Gailey. So no, his contract has expired and the Bills and no one else has signed him. He may well be out of NFL football this year, although after some injuries a team may look to sign him as an emergency player during the season.

mountainwampus Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 NFL.com had him listed as the second to worst available free agent QB, just ahead of JaMarcus Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is Chris White still employed by the Bills? No one talks about that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is Chris White still employed by the Bills? No one talks about that guy. Yep. he signed a four year deal as a rookie. The Bills have him for peanuts this year and next, although it remains to be seen how he fits into Pettine's defense. When he was a rookie, before he got hurt, I was pleasantly surprised by his speed and athleticism. It's possible he will have a solid reserve role for the Bills.

Trent Edwards is still employed... Trent Edwards is not employed, he is a Free Agent.

Or is there some news article that states that he was released? Edwards is still a member of the Eagles but expected to be released. He hasn't been yet though. I assume, like the Bills, with a whole new staff coming in from the college ranks, they are still evaluating their roster and putting together the playbook and haven't made all of these kinds of decisions. If Dennis Dixon is healthy, it almost assures Edwards will not remain on the team. I would be shocked if Kelly kept him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
