PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Ten seasons, seven Pro Bowls and maybe one last game. Few players in Pittsburgh Steelers history have performed as well in a career as Alan Faneca, arguably the NFL's best left guard and a lineman whose personality and work ethic seem a perfect match for the franchise. Faneca is a team-first player in a sport that has increasingly become me-first, the steadiest of players in an unstable profession where one bad game can ruin a season or a career. "My agent kept telling me before the (1999) draft he had a feeling I was coming here," Faneca said Thursday. "He kept saying, `I think you're a fit, that's where you're going to go,' and he was right. I think I fit that Steeler mold, I guess." http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AsBHfFXcvK4.BOyXsdAWzM_2zr8F?slug=ap-steelers-faneca&prov=ap&type=lgns BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Bills quarterback J.P Losman wants out of Buffalo, unhappy with how he lost his starting job to rookie Trent Edwards this past season. Losman's agent, Gary Wichard, told The Associated Press on Friday that his client would prefer to be traded, but added Losman would play out the final year of his contract if necessary. Wichard said he has not yet spoken to the Bills because the team is seeking a new general manager after Marv Levy stepped down earlier this week. Whether the Bills choose to keep Losman, Wichard said he didn't see any chance of Losman remaining with the team after next season. "That ship has sailed, my friend," Wichard said. "Hopefully, they do something this year. And if not, we'll just walk away after next year." http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Ah4YSxnZ0E3ilCfXLufTw91DubYF?slug=ap-bills-losman&prov=ap&type=lgns
