Let's say you find yourself homeless. You've had some rough years, things haven't gone your way and you're living in a cardboard box. The only possessions you have to your name are three gold Rolex watches. So what do you do? Any rational person would sell at least one of those watches to be able to get other things of necessity. That homeless person is the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills are tied with the Lions for the longest active playoff drought (10 years). They haven't had a winning record since 2004. Many prognosticators have them finishing as the worst team in the league this year. Yet here they sit with three great running backs and they aren't willing to part with any of them.

Fred Jackson surprised many last year by rushing for over 1,000 yards while averaging 4.5 yards per carry. The Bills took C.J. Spiller with the ninth overall pick in this year's draft. And they also still have their first-round pick from the 2007 draft, Marshawn Lynch, who rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2008.

So why are the Bills keeping all three running backs? It's not because of a lack of interest from other teams. Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports reported that a source said the Bills turned down an offer for a third-round pick for Lynch. That same source also said four teams were interested in Lynch and a team contacted the Bills as recently as last week.

New head coach Chan Gailey want to keep all three and has said, "This is a situation in the NFL where you can't have too many good running backs." I completely agree. But the Bills have far too many holes to enjoy the luxury of having an abundance of running backs.

The Patriots just recently received a fourth-round pick for Laurence Maroney, who has never once gone over 1,000 yards rushing in a season and had completely fallen out of favor in New England. Lynch has to be worth more than that. His value would seem to be even greater for a team in need.

The Packers are just that team now that Ryan Grant has been ruled out for the year. Green Bay must now turn to Brandon Jackson, who has seen very limited action in his three-plus years in the NFL. Lynch would be a big improvement for the Packers, who have Super Bowl aspirations. Even their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, a former teammate at Cal, endorses the idea of adding Lynch. It just makes sense for both parties.

Remember how I mentioned that any rational homeless person would sell off one of his Rolexes? Well, perhaps they're homeless for a reason: they're not rational. Enjoy staring at your pretty watches from your cardboard box of a team, Chan Gailey and GM Buddy Nix.
