Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Fitzpatrick fell out of favor in Buffalo following a 6-10 season in which he finished with 24 touchdown passes, but also 22 turnovers. The Bills made no secret that Fitzpatrick had lost his grip on the starting job, going as far as using a press release announcing the re-signing of Tarvaris Jackson to explain that the team would hold an open quarterback competition in the summer. Fitzpatrick said there were "discussions" about restructuring his contract in a way that would allow him to return, though he acknowledged he and GM Buddy Nix "didn't come close" to agreeing on numbers. ... Whatever the case, Fitzpatrick becomes the best available free-agent quarterback on the market.
