A bitter pill for Bills fans
The New Orleans Saints were led to victory in Superbowl XLIV by quarterback Drew Brees.
Just his name is a bitter pill for Buffalo Bills fans.
It was revealed earlier this year by Peter King of SI.com that current New Orleans Saints head coach Gregg Williams wanted to draft Brees in 2001.
Also, the Bills had another shot at Brees in 2004 when he became an unrestricted free agent.
That means in 2004 there were four franchise quarterbacks available in Brees through free agency and quarterbacks Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger in the National Football League Draft.
The Bills instead decided to trade up for the one quarterback that wasn’t a franchise quarterback in JP Losman.
In the end Bills fans are left wondering if that would be them up there if they gotten one of the four quarterbacks in 2004.
