The Buffalo Bills have landed a much-needed backup for starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports Dolphins free agent Tyler Thigpen has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Buffalo.
The move puts Thigpen in a very familiar system under Bills coach Chan Gailey. Thigpen found success as an NFL QB as the primary starter for the Kansas City Chiefs when Gailey was their offensive coordinator in 2008.
Thigpen lost his standing in Kansas City once the team added Matt Cassel, and in Miami he wasn't in the mix to compete with Chad Henne for the job this year.
With Fitzpatrick and Thigpen, the Bills have a decent situation under center for the short term.
