The Buffalo Bills, after dangling receiver/return specialist Roscoe Parrish for weeks, are now expected not to trade Parrish to a new team before Tuesday’s 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.
Parrish was a healthy scratch on Sunday against the Jets due to the possibility that a deal would be struck.
The thinking is that the Bills missed their chance to move Parrish, probably by asking for too much in return. During the Week Five game against the Browns, Parrish bungled one return for a significant loss of yards and then fumbled a late-game opportunity, allowing the Browns to steal the victory with a field goal.
Parrish is under contract through 2011. His base salary for the current season is $1 million. It moves to $1.025 million in each of the final two seasons of the deal.
