BILLS DO A DEAL, BUT NOT THE ONE THEIR FANS HAD HOPED FOR

As it turns out, the Bills were involved in some trade-deadline maneuverings. But it didn’t involve the player for whom Bills fans were pining.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports defensive tackle John McCargo has been shipped from Buffalo to Indianapolis. Compensation currently isn’t known.

McCargo was one of three North Carolina State defensive linemen taken in the first round of the 2006 draft, along with defensive end Mario Williams (No. 1 overall to the Texans) and defensive end (now linebacker) Manny Lawson (No. 22 overall to the 49ers). The Bills selected McCargo with the 26th overall pick.

In two-plus years, McCargo had 25 games appearances but no starts.

For the Colts, McCargo likely will be an immediate starter, given their struggles at the position. Quinn Pitcock, a third-round pick in 2007, quit football prior to training camp. Ed Johnson, an undrafted free agent, was cut after being arrested for possession of marijuana.

McCargo didn't work out? WHO COULD'VE SEEN THAT COMING?

Before the draft, I thought it was apparent that he benefited from playing with Williams, just as Sims did playing with Peppers.

Then again, in the 2002 draft I liked Wendell Bryant the most out of the DTs taken in the first, with Henderson behind him, Haynesworth behind him, and Sims even further behind all of them.

He will forever be John McSims.

That was such a horrible draft pick. I remember everything thinking "WTF? They just drafted a third rounder."

Since DT's take so long to develop, if Indy didn't give up crap it may be a good move by them.

I'm guessing they overpaid since they have nothing at DT though.
