The Buffalo Bills are not yet ready to commit to Ryan Fitzpatrick as a member of their team just yet.
Asked on Thursday by the Buffalo News whether Fitzpatrick would be on the roster this year, Bills president Russ Brandon basically said: "Next question."
"The main thing there is we're continuing to evaluate, and that's more in line with how Buddy and Doug come out on that," Brandon said. "We're looking at everything and evaluating every aspect of the organization. "I'm evaluating the organization from top to bottom. Those guys are evaluating the roster. We'll see where that goes."
Cutting Fitzpatrick would not save much cap space. Even though he has a cap number of $10.45 million, he would still count $10 million against the cap if he was released. That's why a renegotiated deal for Fitzpatrick makes the most sense.
Still, it's clear the Bills aren't promising anything. They re-signed Tarvaris Jackson and figure to draft a quarterback. The team won't promise Fitzpatrick a starting job. Heck, they won't even promise him a spot on the team.
