Trent Edwards

Trent Edwards won the starting quarterback battle to begin the season for the Bills.  Now he's unemployed.

The Bills announced today they have released the veteran QB after attempts to trade him were unsuccessful.

Edwards was benched before the Bills 38-30 loss to New England on Sunday in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick. 

There's no indication on where Edwards may land.  He was the Bills third round selection in the 2007 NFL draft and played his collegiate career at Stanford.

Jimmy Raye

 

I guess an assurance from your boss doesn't mean you'll keep your job.  Jimmy Raye has been fired by the 49ers and will be replaced by quarterbacks coach Mike Johnson.

A day after 49ers coach Mike Singletary said Jimmy Raye would be the offensive coordinator for the rest of the season, Raye was fired by San Francisco.

Raye's dismissal was first reported by NFL.com.

 

 

Kenny McKinley

 

The Denver Broncos are dealing with tragedy again.  Reports have been confirmed that wide receiver Kenny McKinley was found dead Monday in his apartment.  Local police believe McKinley committed suicide. 

Authorities say McKinley had a history of depression and had even made comments of "killing himself," but no one thought he was serious. 

According to NFL.com, McKinley was found in his bedroom with a pillow over his face, and a gun laying on the pillow.  They also reported a strong odor of marijauna in his room.

McKinley was the Broncos 5th-round pick in 2009 and had previously played for legendary Steve Spurrier at South Carolina.  McKinley was 23 years old.

 

 

ESPN.com is reporting that New York Jets receiver Braylon Edwards has been arrested on DWI.  The NFL has made no statements at this time, but the New York Jets had this to say:

"We are very disappointed in Braylon's actions this morning. The Player Protect program is in place for our organization to prevent this situation. Braylon is aware of this program and showed poor judgment," Tannenbaum said.

"We are reviewing the information with the league and will impose the appropriate disciplinary measures."

Stay tuned to TSR for updates on the situation.
