The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

The Buffalo Bills checked off yet another box from their offseason to-do list Friday with the signing of high-profile backup quarterback Vince Young.

Over the past 10 weeks, the Bills re-signed their most important players whose contracts were running out (Stevie Johnson, Scott Chandler, Rian Lindell and Kirk Morrison). They addressed their biggest weakness with the major free-agent acquisitions of pass rushers Mario Williams and Mark Anderson. They addressed numerous positions of need in the NFL Draft.

By signing Young to a one-year contract, they now have more security at quarterback if starter Ryan Fitzpatrick goes down. Young, who turns 29 next week, becomes the favorite in a battle with incumbent Tyler Thigpen to win the team's No. 2 QB job.
