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.
probably no more trades expected today period. 24 minutes and counting......
The Bills would have better luck trying to dangle Roscoe P. Coltrane.
his contract is for alot more than that including bonus'
Parrish with his ammortized bonus and other factors had a cap number of over $1.5 this year and next. It will probably cost the Bills more to move him than he's worth, but he probably remains inactive-- and may even get cut with James hardy returning this week.

This might seem like a stupid question, but trades trickle in after 1 PST? With the NHL the trade deadline is at noon, but thats when the paper work needs to be in and sometimes deals are announced an hour later or so. Is the same thing possible here or once 1 PST strikes we wont hear anything else?
