The Tennessee Titans have agreed with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick on a two-year contract, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Fitzpatrick, 30, was released earlier this month by the Buffalo Bills after two-plus inconsistent seasons as the starter. In Tennessee, he will compete for playing time with Jake Locker, the eighth overall pick in the 2011 draft.
Fitzpatrick's up-and-down performance and his expensive contract were factors in his release from the Bills. He went 20-33 as a starter over four seasons in Buffalo. And he was in the midst of a six-year, $59 million contract extension signed in October 2011.
That was regarded as too expensive for a player who wasn't guaranteed to return as a starter this season.
In 55 games in Buffalo, Fitzpatrick threw 80 touchdowns and 64 interceptions, including a career-worst 23 in 2011. He finished his career in Buffalo ranking third on the team list in touchdowns, and fourth with 11,654 yards.
