On Sunday, as reported by Fox Sports activities’ Mike Garafolo and ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bills signed Matt Leinart after a successful exercise. The staff additionally brought in former Dolphin and Redskin John Beck for a look but selected Leinart, the former Heisman Trophy winner whom we final noticed in relief for the Raiders last season, in Week sixteen. (Trace: It wasn’t too fairly.)
Leinart has not had a single OTA or coaching camp practice underneath his belt this offseason, but as a vested veteran, he may have a totally assured salary with his new staff if he makes the opening-week 53-man roster.
Kolb’s future appears to be in severe doubt, following a career suffering from concussions.
Especially with the Payments also making a trade Sunday for yet another quarterback, and one who began more games (one, for the Browns) than Leinart did last season.
If Manuel is not ready by Week One’s dwelling game against the Patriots — and assuming Leinart isn’t totally immersed within the playbook — it could be undrafted Jeff Tuel who gets the start. Tuel has flashed at occasions in the preseason, finishing 21-of-26 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns, albeit towards largely second- and third-crew defenses.
Tuel is likely to begin the Bills’ closing preseason game on Thursday in opposition to the Lions, and FOX’s Jay Glazer studies that Leinart will get action in that game, too.
Matt Leinart is now a Buffalo Bill; Kevin Kolb’s career could be in jeopardy
