We are only in the 3rd week of the NFL season, yet teams are already making key moves. The Buffalo Bills have released their Quarterback Trent Edwards, after poor perfomances in the first 2 weeks of the season. The San Fransisco 49ers also fired offensive coordinator, Jimmy Raye after a dismal start to their season.

After 2 poor performances in the first two weeks of the NFL season, the Bills decided to bench Trent Edwards in favor of their young quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who performed rather well in week 3. After Ryan Fitzpatrick’s performance, the decision to release the 2007 3rd-round pick, Edwards, was one that the Bills likely found easy to make. Edwards completed just 29 of 52 passes for 241 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions in the first 2 games this season. Several teams including the Browns, 49ers, and Cardinals may have interest in the quarterback.

In separate news, the 49ers fired their offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye this morning, after the 49ers got off to an 0-3 start, losing to Kansas City, New Orleans, and Seattle in the early going. Jimmy Raye was hired by the 49ers before the start of the 2009 season, and although Mike Singletary stated that his job was safe less than 24 hours ago, the coach was still canned.

Clearly the NFL season is off to an exciting start, with several teams performing in ways that many fans were not expecting, both in positive and negative terms.
