The Buffalo Bills will be entertaining offers for former Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch(notes) heading into next week's NFL draft, multiple sources have told Yahoo! Sports.

While the Bills have not been actively shopping Lynch around the league, two sources in contact with the Bills said Buffalo would be open to moving him if a package included a second-round pick. And though no dialogue has taken place between the Bills and potential suitors, the aforementioned sources say the Seattle Seahawks, who hold the 28th pick in the second round (60th overall), have had internal discussions about acquiring Lynch.

The match would seem to be a comfortable fit: Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is familiar with Lynch after facing him three times while coaching USC, and Lynch's best friend – former Cal teammate Justin Forsett(notes) – carries a portion of the load in the Seattle backfield. In addition, the new Seattle regime apparently

Donovan McNabb(notes) has arrived, and eventually, someone will be leaving the Washington Redskins. And the change of address forms may not stop with quarterback Jason Campbell(notes), either. Indeed, two high-ranking front-office sources from NFC teams and one from the AFC indicated that the Redskins have put out feelers on multiple players since the arrival of new coach Mike Shanahan.

"[Shanahan] and [General Manager] Bruce Allen want to shake it up," said one NFC personnel man. "There are some personalities they want to move out before training camp. I think some of it is the attitude of the locker room, and some of it is just the fit [schematically]."

Beyond defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth(notes), the NFC source refused to reveal specific names, but said the Redskins appeared to be open to offers on "multiple" players.

"I think they're going to be aggressive," he said. "There have already been some calls."

Less than two weeks ago, when it became clear to many NFL front offices that the Philadelphia Eagles were serious about trading Donovan McNabb(notes), an executive from an NFC club was standing in a nook of the Ritz-Carlton resort in Orlando, Fla., postulating potential landing spots. As he offered insight in the conversation, a theory was advanced about the Washington Redskins.

Some pieces of the puzzle appeared to fit: Washington was looking for a quarterback; the offensive schemes were similar; the Redskins had an aggressive new regime; and the head coaches involved – Andy Reid in Philadelphia and Mike Shanahan in Washington – had mutual ties under the Bill Walsh coaching tree. But as those realities were rattled off, the NFC executive shook his head in vigorous defiance.

"That won't happen," he said. "I see the basic logic, but the Eagles would never do that. Not inside the division."

Two weeks later, basic logic has

Former Mississippi defensive end Greg Hardy isn't the only once highly touted prospect to see a dip in his NFL draft stock. Here are five more prospects who have lost some shine heading into April.

1. Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
At first, the grumbling about him amongst talent evaluators made you think about Michael Crabtree(notes) last season. But Bryant's buzz definitely seems worse in recent days. Failing to take part in the NFL scouting combine rubbed some the wrong way. And personnel departments were already touting stories about Bryant's tardiness in college when the news came out that he was staging his own "private" one-man pro day. That move wasn't exactly well-received in some league corners, and it didn't get much better when he produced a less than stellar workout, forgetting a pair of preferred cleats and clocking around 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Add in his lengthy suspension his last season at

WHISTLER, British Columbia – Bode Miller called it "amazing." And for the first time in years, he could have been speaking for the entire U.S. Alpine team.

Yes, the program sputtered in the final four races of the Vancouver Games – crashing, missing gates, failing to finish multiple races – but its furious start is what will endure. By capturing eight medals in the first six races in Whistler, the United States ensured it would dominate the Alpine podium, outperforming such heavy favorites as Austria, Norway and Switzerland, and making good on an immense stockpile of talent that fell short in 2006 in Torino, Italy.

And no skier was more surprising than Miller, who has long had the ability to win Olympic gold, but seemed to lack the passion to complete the journey. Three weeks ago he entered these Games beneath the immense shadow of Lindsey Vonn, whose talent, poise and marketability made her the crown jewel of NBC's

WHISTLER, British Columbia – Canada should have given the podium away. Just this once, it should have let Brian McKeever race.

It should have done so because the Vancouver Games aren't all about medals, times and endorsements. It should have done so because, while legally blind, McKeever sees his Olympic dream with his heart – and that's what this should all be about. It should have done so because that rallying cry of "Own the Podium" isn't the definition of Canadians in these Games.

Most of all, Canada should have let Brian McKeever race because it brought him to Vancouver in the first place. It gave him the gift of chasing his dream, and something like that should never be taken back.

Make no mistake, this was an uncommon, crucial decision. It was the difference between chasing national glory and

WHISTLER, British Columbia – Julia Mancuso came off the course Wednesday, dropped her head into her hands, and started crying. Little did she know, America's newfound ski aficionados were right there with her.

Six wondrous days – the kind of thing that reels in new fans and garners a rare spotlight for Alpine skiing – have come to a crunching halt for the United States. Lindsey Vonn crashed in the giant slalom; Mancuso wept after a re-start flag destroyed her momentum; weather postponed the remainder of the race until Thursday; and all the steam built by the U.S. Ski Team came to a disappointing but fairly common standstill.

"This," skiing veterans will tell you, "is a typical day for the sport."

And for most ski-ignorant Americans, that's precisely the problem.

When U.S. skiers become frustrated with Americans and wonder why there hasn't been a renaissance of homegrown popularity in their sport, all you need to do is look at the

WHISTLER, British Columbia – The streak couldn't last forever. Not for Bode Miller and not for the U.S. ski team.

For the first time at these Olympic Games, the Americans failed to grab a piece of an Alpine podium, finishing well out of medal position in Tuesday's giant slalom. Only Ted Ligety put up a serious challenge, finishing ninth, as Miller missed a gate and failed to finish in the morning portion of the runs. It halted a U.S. Alpine best of six consecutive races with a medal – somewhat of a surprise with Ligety leading the World Cup giant slalom standings and also getting bronze in the event in the 2009 world championships.

"It's disappointing not to keep the streak going with the medals and the races," Ligety said. "Especially [when] I felt like of all the guys on the team, I should have been getting medals, for sure. Bode, obviously [has performed well], and [Andrew] Weibrecht was a good surprise. I felt like I should be
