Kevin Kolb finalizing deal with Bills

Kevin Kolb is close to becoming the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills.
Adam Schefter ‏of ESPN reports that the Bills and Kolb are finalizing a deal tonight that will land Kolb in Buffalo.
PFT reported the Bills’ interest in Kolb on Friday, and getting the deal done would give Buffalo a player who would be considered the favorite to win a training camp competition with the only experienced quarterback currently on the roster, Tarvaris Jackson.
Kolb landing with the Bills also takes him out of play for the other teams who are reported to have interest, including the Jets and the Raiders. Oakland was believed to be considering Kolb in case a deal to acquire Matt Flynn from Seattle (and to get Flynn to take a pay cut) can’t be worked out.
After showing some promise early in his career with the Eagles, Kolb was a major disappointment in Arizona. Bills fans will have to hope his third stop is the charm.

Kolb to miss several weeks with rib injuries

Given the state of the Cardinals offensive line, the fact that a quarterback change is coming has seemed inevitable for weeks.
Now it’s official.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb won’t be able to play this week against the Vikings and will miss several weeks, opening the door again for John Skelton.
According to Schefter, Kolb had “multiple ribs detach from his sternum” (ouch) as well as “a sprained sternoclavicular joint” (rushes for old anatomy textbook from when I was in medical school).
Kolb has taken a vicious beating since taking over for Skelton in the opener, with 23 sacks in the last three games alone.
And since the line problems aren’t the kind to be fixed with anything other than personnel upgrades, there’s a strong chance Kolb — or Ryan Lindley, or the next guy in off the street — will get another chance sometime later this season.
