Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch has made it known that he is ready to be a star again.
Lynch is set to rebounds from on-the-field and off-the-field issues to be one of the league’s top running backs.
He was put on notice when the team drafted running back C.J. Spiller high in the first round, fueling trade speculation.
Lynch knows he has been inconsistent and somewhat of a disappoint in his short career, but he is ready to make up for lost time.
He said he has never been a quitter and that he has paid the price for his actions and is ready to move on with his life.

As if the Buffalo Bills already don’t have enough running backs, they have signed Chad Simpson to a contract.
The former Indianapolis Colt will join what has become a very crowded backfield situation.
The team is likely to go with Fred Jackson as the starter with first round draft pick C.J. Spiller seeing significant carries.
Then there is Marshawn Lynch, who the team still hopes to deal but has found little interest so far.
Buffalo is hopeful that a running back goes down in training camp for another team, giving them a chance to move Lynch.

The Buffalo Bills are still trying to decide on a starting quarterback, and it appears that Brian Brohm is going to get a strong look from the team.
Trent Edwards started most games for the Bills last year and was considered the quarterback of the future but has not panned out as hoped.
New head coach Chan Gailey expects quite a battle for the starting job to play out over the next few months between Brohm, Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick was the backup to Edwards last year and did start several games, but is not much of a playmaker down the field with the football.
Brohm said it was mandatory that he showed up for the voluntary minicamps if he wants to get better and show he deserves a crack at the starting job.
