Buffalo Bills QB Thaddeus Lewis talks about trade
By Mike Dyce
The Buffalo Bills had an open competition between Kevin Kolb and E.J. Manuel in training camp. Kolb is facing a career ending injury from a concussion and Manuel is recovering from a knee scope. In the wake of the rash of injuries, Jeff Tuel was named the starting quarterback.
The Buffalo Bills also signed Matt Leinart and traded for Detroit Lions quarterback Thaddeus Lewis. He didn’t have much to say other than he was shocked and that “it all happened so fast.”
He did add that he’ll “dive head first into it” and there is always an opportunity to get playing time when Jeff Tuel is the starting quarterback. Tuel was undrafted out of Washington State and has “very little arm strength” according to ex-NFL scout Russ Lande.
