Titans sign Ryan Fitzpatrick to two-year deal | 03/18/2013 9:42 PM
News
Titans agreed to terms with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, formerly of the Bills, on a two-year contract.
Adam Schefter on Twitter
Impact
The Titans trade out 37-year-old Matt Hasselbeck for the 30-year-old Fitzpatrick. The talent gap between the two is minimal, and Fitzpatrick isn't a threat to Jake Locker's job as the starter. FitzMagic will take most of the first-team reps at quarterback this spring with Locker missing time as he recovers from shoulder surgery. Fitzpatrick started all 16 games for the Bills in 2012, completing 60.6 percent of his passes for 3,400 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. He also lost six fumbles. |

Titans have 'serious' interest in FitzMagic | 03/18/2013 6:08 PM
News
Titan Insider's Terry McCormick reports the Titans have "serious" interest in free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Terry McCormick on Twitter
Impact
Tennessee's interest in FitzMagic is heating up after Monday's Matt Hasselbeck release. The club needs a veteran signal caller to back up Jake Locker, who will miss much of spring workouts after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder. |

Ryan Fitzpatrick pays visit to the Titans | 03/18/2013 1:04 PM
News
NFL Network's Kimberly Jones reports free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick recently paid a visit to the Titans.
Kimberly Jones on Twitter
Impact
The Titans may release Matt Hasselbeck if the sides can't reach agreement on a salary reduction, and Fitzpatrick would apparently be a fallback option behind Jake Locker. Fitzpatrick, 30, is also drawing strong interest from the Bengals. |

Report: Ryan Fitzpatrick met with Tennessee | 03/18/2013 12:42 PM
News
NFL.com's Kimberly Jones reports free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick has met with the Titans in addition to the Bengals.
Kimberly Jones on Twitter
Impact
The Titans need a capable veteran to guide and back up erratic starter Jake Locker, and Matt Hasselbeck is getting too expensive and too ineffective for the job. Fitzpatrick would be both cheaper and better than Hasselbeck, and a new veteran voice for Locker to lean on. The move would make a lot of sense for a Titans team that's seemed somewhat directionless in free agency. |

Bengals host Ryan Fitzpatrick | 03/18/2013 1:22 AM
News
The Bengals hosted free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick on Sunday.
Geoff Hobson on Twitter
Impact
FitzMagic spent the 2007-2008 seasons in Cincinnati, backing up Carson Palmer before leaving for greener pastures in Buffalo. Fitzpatrick flamed out as the Bills' starter, but he would be an upgrade on Bruce Gradkowski behind Andy Dalton. |
|
Bengals interested in Ryan Fitzpatrick? | 03/13/2013 2:28 PM
News
Bengals.com says to not be "surprised" if the team checks out free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Geoff Hobson on Twitter
Impact
Coach Marvin Lewis is familiar with Fitzpatrick, as he spent two seasons in Cincinnati before landing in Buffalo in 2009. Fitzpatrick started 12 games for the Bengals in 2008, completing 59.4 percent of his passes for 1,905 yards, eight touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Cincinnati is in the market for a backup after losing Bruce Gradkowski to the Steelers. |

Bills wave goodbye to QB Ryan Fitzpatrick | 03/12/2013 4:23 PM
News
Bills released QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Adam Schefter on Twitter
Impact
The move comes with a staggering $10 million-plus cap hit, but the Bills didn't see the point in moving forward with a player they had publicly lost faith in. Fitzpatrick has the ability to be one of the league's better backups, but proved time and again under Chan Gailey he didn't have what it takes to be a long-term starter, especially in terms of arm strength. He'll be a backup elsewhere in 2013. |

Chat between Nix and Dominik secretly taped | 03/12/2013 11:57 AM
News
During a secretly taped phone conversation, Bills GM Buddy Nix hinted that he sees Ryan Fitzpatrick as a backup.
Deadspin.com
Impact
Nix was shooting the breeze with Bucs GM Mark Dominik, unaware that the call was being recorded. When talks reached the subject of quarterbacks, it got ugly for Fitzpatrick, who counts $10.45M against the cap. "We just can't afford to pay that kind of money for a guy who's fighting for probably a backup job," Nix said. It confirms the Bills will force Fitzpatrick to redo his deal and bring in true competition for the starting gig via the draft or free agency. |

Bills GM: Fitz's future still up in the air | 03/05/2013 4:48 PM
News
GM Buddy Nix says the Bills are still debating Ryan Fitzpatrick's future with the team.
ESPN.com
Impact
"We're still in the process of working on it," Nix said. "Any talking, I'll do with him." Nix did allow he's already spoken with Fitzpatrick "several" times. Fitzpatrick was once viewed as certain to be released, but he'd count roughly $10 million against the cap either way. Although the price is outrageous, Fitzpatrick would make sense as a bridge QB if the Bills wound up with Syracuse's Ryan Nassib on draft weekend. |
|
Bills haven't asked Fitz to restructure yet | 02/21/2013 11:58 AM
News
The Bills have not approached Ryan Fitzpatrick about restructuring his contract "at this point."
Buffalo News
Impact
Fitzpatrick's $3 million roster bonus isn't due until March 13, so the Bills have some time. There's almost no way he'll be allowed to keep the bonus and $4.25 million base salary that would result in a $10.45 million hit against the cap. Fitzpatrick knows that in a best-case scenario, he'd just be one of three guys competing for the starting job. |

Bills assistant GM not high on rookie QBs | 02/21/2013 10:44 AM
News
Bills assistant GM Doug Whaley said "there's no total package" among the quarterbacks in this year's draft.

Former TE coach lays in Ryan Fitzpatrick | 02/20/2013 9:37 AM
News
Former Bills TE coach Pete Metzelaars said if he were in charge of the team, he would replace Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Buffalo News
Impact
Metzelaars was fired along with the rest of the Chan Gailey regime after last season. "Fitz is an average to below-average kind of guy, and unfortunately he made some bad decisions at the end of games and then didn't make plays at the ends of other games we had chances to win," Metzelaars said. "So it's got to start there." For now, the new regime appears set on pitting Fitzpatrick against Tarvaris Jackson and a rookie in a quarterback competition for the 2013 job. |
|
Bills will almost certainly draft a QB early | 02/16/2013 4:37 PM
News
The Buffalo News says the Bills will "almost certainly" draft a quarterback in the first or second round.
Buffalo News
Impact
After Tarvaris Jackson was re-signed on Friday, coach Doug Marrone said T-Jack and Ryan Fitzpatrick would compete for the starting job, suggesting the team wouldn't target a signal caller in the draft as hard. Fitzpatrick and Jackson aren't long-term answers, and may not even be short-term ones, either. Ryan Nassib, Tyler Wilson, and Mike Glennon are just a few names that could be considered. |
|
Bills not planning to cut Fitzpatrick yet | 02/15/2013 4:26 PM
News
New Bills coach Doug Marrone indicated Friday that Ryan Fitzpatrick will be kept on the roster for now.
Associated Press
Impact
The Bills could save $500,000 in salary cap space by releasing Fitzpatrick before a $3 million roster bonus comes due on March 13. Marrone's comments, however, suggest Fitzpatrick's roster bonus will be paid and he'll enter training camp "competing" with Tarvaris Jackson to start. It's a very surprising decision by the Bills. Fitzpatrick is also owed a $4.25 million base salary. |

Bills OC Hackett noncommittal on Fitzpatrick | 01/25/2013 11:09 AM
News
Bills offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was noncommittal when asked if Ryan Fitzpatrick was the right quarterback to lead the team.
Buffalo News
Impact
"I think right now I have to continue to evaluate. I have to see what everything is across the board. Watching him, watching all the other quarterbacks out there, watching all the draft guys, that's really what I'm doing right now. I'm trying to look and get the best evaluation on everybody," said Hackett. Fitzpatrick is certain to be cut this offseason before a $3 million roster bonus is due. |

Stevie wants competition for Fitzpatrick | 01/22/2013 12:12 PM

WR Stevie Johnson said he wants the Bills to bring in competition for Ryan Fitzpatrick.
