Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:52:50 -0700 Updating previous reports, Tennessee Titans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick's two-year deal is worth $6.5 million with a $500,000 roster bonus in 2014 on the fifth day of the league year.
Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:29:26 -0700 Tennessee Titans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick said he is embracing the backup role with the team. "I wanted to find a nice role for me to come in and more than likely help a young guy," Fitzpatrick said. "I thought that would be something that was important to look for and for me a great opportunity to come in. For me, (it's) a great opportunity to come in and help Jake. I don't know Jake at all, but I want to be there for him and be ready to play if anything happens."
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:35:26 -0700 Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak said QB Jake Locker will enter 2013 as the starting quarterback, even after the addition of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Munchak wants Fitzpatrick to push Locker, but believes the competition will make Locker a better player. "I think (Fitzpatrick) understands his role," Muchak said. "It's Jake's team. It's Jake's time. Jake's going to be our guy. We made that decision last year after training camp. Ryan has been in this situation before … He's going to compete with (Locker) and I think he'll help him a lot throughout the week. It will be another great mentor for him. And we feel he can win if he has to play. That's how we felt with Matt Hasselbeck also."
Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:48:50 -0700 The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Bills) on a two-year contract Monday, March 18. Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed. Fantasy Tip: Fitzpatrick will be wearing a ball cap and carrying a clipboard while Jake Locker starts, so avoid the former Buffalo signal caller. His fantasy appeal is negligible unless Locker suffers an injury.
Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:07:42 -0700 The Tennessee Titans recently met with free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Bills).
Mon, 18 Mar 2013 05:18:55 -0700 The Cincinnati Bengals are interested in free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Bills) as their backup to QB Andy Dalton.
Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:14:41 -0700 The Cincinnati Bengals could show interest in free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Bills) if he is not able to find a starting job.
Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:22:00 -0700 Updating a previous report, the Buffalo Bills have released QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fantasy Tip: Stay tuned to see if he ends up with a team in dire need of a starting QB - like the Arizona Cardinals or New York Jets. He won't be more than a QB2 if he does, though.
Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:21:32 -0700 The Buffalo Bills are expected to release QB Ryan Fitzpatrick after he rejected a restructured contract that the team offered him.
Thu, 21 Feb 2013 07:22:48 -0800 The Buffalo Bills have not approached QB Ryan Fitzpatrick about restructuring his contract; however, the team is not ruling out the possibility.
Fri, 15 Feb 2013 10:05:44 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone said QBs Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tarvaris Jackson will compete for the starting quarterback position during offseason workouts and training camp.
Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:58:20 -0800 The Buffalo Bills may ask QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to restructure his contract in order to reduce his $10.45 million salary cap figure for next season. If the team decides to release Fitzpatrick before he is to receive his $3 million roster bonus, he would still count $10 million against the salary cap because of bonus money that has already been paid to him.
Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:05:20 -0800 Buffalo Bills WR Stevie Johnson said he believes competition at the quarterback position would do nothing but help QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:27:45 -0800 Buffalo Bills WR Stevie Johnson wants to see the team bring in another quarterback to give QB Ryan Fitzpatrick some serious competition for the starting job. "Because competition brings out the best in us," Johnson said. "If we went out and got another quarterback, who knows what'll happen? Fitz may still win, or the other guy my win. Let it happen like that." However, Johnson is still confident the team can win with Fitzpatrick at quarterback. Fitzpatrick was ranked 32nd out of 33 quarterbacks this year with a 27.5 completion percentage on passes that traveled at least 20 yards.
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 09:38:10 -0800 The Buffalo Bills could decide to take North Carolina State QB Mike Glennon in the first round of next year's NFL Draft. Glennon has been personally scouted by general manager Buddy Nix, and the Bills are expected to add a quarterback through the draft or free agency, even if they hang on to QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:06:40 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will start Week 17 because he gives the team the best chance to win. Gailey said QBs Tyler Thigpen and Tarvaris Jackson will not see playing time during the game.
Mon, 24 Dec 2012 06:49:06 -0800 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is unlikely to return to the team in 2013. Fitzpatrick has received $21 million of the six-year, $62 million contract he signed in October 2011, and it will not cost the Bills any more to cut him than to keep him on the team. Fitzpatrick is due a $3 million roster bonus in March. If he gets cut before that bonus is paid, then he will count $10 million against the team's salary cap in 2013. If Fitzpatrick is on the roster, his cap number for 2013 will be $10.45 million. Fitzpatrick's base salaries going forward are $4.25 million in 2013, $4.35 million in 2014, $7.2 million in 2015, $8.75 million in 2016 and $9.45 million in 2017.
Sat, 22 Dec 2012 10:48:50 -0800 The Buffalo Bills could save $4.45 million in salary cap space if they decide to release QB Ryan Fitzpatrick before the second day of the 2013 NFL year which comes in March. The team is scheduled to pay a $3 million roster bonus to Ryan Fitzpatrick on that date and his salary cap number would jump to $10.45 million if he is paid the bonus.
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 18:16:26 -0800 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 21 of his 38 pass attempts for 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Week 15 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. Fitzpatrick also had three runs for eight yards, and he lost a fumble.
Fri, 07 Dec 2012 09:54:35 -0800 Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix backed off some of his earlier comments saying the team would focus on drafting a quarterback of the future, suggesting that QB Ryan Fitzpatrick wasn't their man. Nix said previously that the team would draft another quarterback in the first round of next year's draft. "That's not necessarily true. I mean, we're going to always stay with the integrity of the (draft) board. But we're going to try to find a quarterback. If one's there, and he's rated at the right spot, we're going to take him whenever that is."
Sun, 02 Dec 2012 14:07:22 -0800 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick went 9-for-17 for 112 yards and two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13. He also rushed for 18 yards and one touchdown on five carries in the game.
Thu, 29 Nov 2012 11:22:21 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said he believes QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is the future for the team at quarterback. "I think we've always said we're looking to develop a quarterback for the future, but I don't think it's the near future," said Gailey. "I think we're talking about Fitz being the guy for us, and as we continue to get better, I think he's going to be the guy. I see us being able to be very productive as an offense with Fitz at quarterback. I've always said that, and I believe that."
Mon, 26 Nov 2012 06:23:11 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey will continue to handle playcalling duties despite WR Stevie Johnson lobbying for QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to have a bigger role. Gailey said Fitzpatrick has some feedback on calls to a degree, but that role is not about to expand. "Sometimes he does. Sometimes he doesn't," Gailey said. "He can go out there and change some things. Depends on the situation and the play and what we are trying to do. And the thing that we are trying to do, sometimes, is run the football - we don't want to change it to a pass. Sometimes we change out of passes to runs, sometimes we change out of runs to passes, depends on what we get." When asked why Fitzpatrick wouldn't be allowed to alter any play he chooses on the field, Gailey cited pass protection schemes and the need to monitor the workload of certain players like RB C.J. Spiller. "There is a lot more to it than just seeing what they do and just callin' a play, there is a bigger picture here ... You are setting up the next play for the next play," Gailey said. "Fitz is good, he is smart, he really is, he is extremely smart and can make adjustments on the field ... but we're doing things today, just like we did them last year and the year before that."
Mon, 26 Nov 2012 05:45:54 -0800 The Buffalo Bills have scored zero or one offensive touchdown in four of their last seven games, and WR Stevie Johnson believes an answer could be allowing QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to call more plays. Johsnon credited Fitzpatrick for calling audibles to more aggressive plays in Week 12. "How I see it, I think we need to let our quarterback call these plays. He's out there on the field. He sees the adjustments that need to be done. I think we just need to let him make adjustments on the go. I think that's the way we can move the ball better," Johnson said. "He did it a little bit in the game, and we moved the ball … He was hitting C.J. (Spiller), getting his run plays, doing the pass plays, and I just think we should do it more often."
Thu, 15 Nov 2012 05:17:56 -0800 The Buffalo Bills own a record of 2-13 in the AFC East division since head coach Chan Gailey took over, and they are 3-13 with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starting quarterback.
Wed, 14 Nov 2012 04:25:07 -0800 Buffalo Bills WR Stevie Johnson second-guessed why a more experienced wide receiver wasn't targeted on a Week 10 play that ended with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing an interception into the end zone to seal a 37-31 loss. Johnson also came to WR T.J. Graham's defense, saying the rookie receiver shouldn't be faulted for running the wrong route because he had never attempted it in practice. "I don't think it was the wrong play. But just the whole thing leading up to it," Johnson said, noting that he, WR Donald Jones and TE Scott Chandler were more familiar at running the route. "We had people in positions where maybe they shouldn't have been. So who knows what would've happened if it was Donald, me or Scott there. So it's no blame on T.J. at all, because he's never run that route in practice or in a game."
Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:44:59 -0800 For the second straight week, Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick endorsed the notion of the team giving RB C.J. Spiller more touches. "I think you can never give him enough touches," said Fitzpatrick. "We can all see what he can do with the football. When he and Fred are playing you look at it collectively. We try to get both of them a big number of touches. We stayed with the run game in the second half even though we were behind."
Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:11:22 -0800 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick went 27-for-40 for 337 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 10 against New England Patriots.

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:44:24 -0800 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick said following Week 9 the offense has to find a way to get RB C.J. Spiller more involved. Spiller had just six carries for 39 yards, in addition to five receptions for 63 yards in the game. "I mean the story of the day for us is we've got to get C.J. more touches," Fitzpatrick said. "I think everybody knows that and we've got to find ways to do that. But really the story for us was just our inability to score touchdowns."
Fri, 02 Nov 2012 07:57:37 -0700 Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix hinted that QB Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't a franchise quarterback. "Listen, we have said from day one, that we want to draft a good young quarterback" Nix said. "I don't want to leave here without a franchise guy for the future in place. I have not said that before but I'm saying it now because its fact."
Sun, 21 Oct 2012 14:23:00 -0700 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick went 27-for-35 for 225 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:04:46 -0700 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said he still has confidence in QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and is not planning on making a quarterback change. "Not right now, no," Gailey said when asked about a quarterback change.
Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:45:00 -0700 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said following Week 5 that he has no issues with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick as the team's starting quarterback.

In three losses, he has seven touchdowns, eight interceptions and a 68.7 passer rating.
Sun, 07 Oct 2012 21:23:56 -0700 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 16 of his 26 pass attempts for 126 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in the Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Wed, 03 Oct 2012 06:22:22 -0700 The Buffalo Bills have shown the ability to be an explosive offense, but the unit has also had issues protecting the football. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is tied for second in the NFL with seven interception. The team has already lost four fumbles, just one off their total of five for the entire 2011 campaign.

Fri, 07 Sep 2012 22:24:45 -0700 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has managed six touchdown passes and just two interceptions over his past three starts against the New York Jets, the team's Week 1 opponent. His passing yardage per game has increased in each of the past four outings, and he threw for 264 yards and three scores in Week 12 last season against the Jets. Fantasy Tip: Fitzpatrick should still be treated as a QB2 in most fantasy leagues despite averaging two TD strikes over his past three meetings vs. NYJ.
Thu, 16 Aug 2012 09:33:48 -0700 The Buffalo Bills are hoping QBs Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyler Thigpen and Vince Young receive roughly 20 reps each in the team's preseason game Friday, Aug. 17. "(It) did not happen last week," Gailey said of the playing time. "Tyler got 19 and Vince got 30. We would like to stay at 20 and 20 if we can. With (Fitzpatrick) getting 20, you like to think a game is 60-something plays. Tyler may end up with a few more this week."

We feel the excitement and optimism, to be honest."
Sat, 30 Jun 2012 07:35:47 -0700 Buffalo Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick said his accuracy during offseason practices was superior to that of any other time in his career.

He's making sure that I'm getting the most out of everything. You see it in the numbers now and hopefully it translates to one the field as well."
Thu, 28 Jun 2012 06:09:30 -0700 Former Buffalo Bills QB Jim Kelly said QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has to play better for the team to take the next step.
