ORCHARD PARK - Quarterback J.P. Losman doesn't appear to be going anywhere despite his request that the Buffalo Bills trade him.

“J.P.'s on this roster and he's a part of this organization. And we anticipate J.P.'s going to be on this team,” Bills chief operating officer, Russ Brandon, said during the team's annual pre-draft luncheon Wednesday.

“He's here and that's how we're approaching it,” Brandon added.

Losman has one year left on his contract, but wants out of Buffalo after losing the starting job to rookie third-round pick Trent Edwards last season. It was the second time in three years Losman lost the No. 1 job. Veteran journeyman Kelly Holcomb beat him out midway through the 2005 season.

Losman reclaimed the job the following year, but that's not likely to happen again with the Bills intent on moving forward with Edwards as their starter this season.

Unhappy with how he's been treated, Losman made his trade request public through his agent, Gary Wichard, in early January.

Wichard stressed that his client would play out his contract, but added he didn't foresee any way Losman would re-sign with the Bills once he becomes a free agent.
