Why is Roscoe Still Here?

I’m surprised the Bills didn’t trade Roscoe Parrish. It made too much sense, and maybe that’s why it didn’t happen. He clearly didn’t want to be here, and he’s clearly playing like someone who doesn’t want to be here. The fumble and -15 yard return against the Browns, along with his postgame comments. smack of a player not focused becuase he’s unhappy. I don’t believe Roscoe will ever be a viable offensive player, but obviously he does.
His return skills, while on hiatus this year, should have given him enough value to get at least a 5th round draft pick. But maybe teams figured the Bills would have to let him go, and never offered that. Remember, James Hardy is set to come off the PUP list and a roster spot will have to be open in the next few weeks.
Now what do you do with an unhappy player who is made he wasn’t traded? Do you cut him? I think you have to. When you do, he’ll be just another horrible Bills wasted draft pick.
Can’t make a trade if no one wants to deal. Everyone knows the Bills want to dump Parrish. Why make a trade when you can just wait for the Bills to cut him?
He should be cut. He might be good catching balls from JP Losman in the UFL.
the guys unhappy cause he dosent get to play. i think he got 1 ball thrown to him this year. id be unhappy to. if our coaching staff wasent so dumb theyed use him like wes welker or jackson from philly. if you think we should trade him for a 4th or 5th round draft pick then your crazy. did everone go T.O crazy or somthing. cause id rather have parish in there, then over rated T.O. and sit trent out for the rest of the year so we have a shot at the playoffs for once..
