ORCHARD PARK, NY - The Buffalo Bills today announced
that free agent QB Vince Young has agreed to terms on a contract with the team.
In accordance with team policy, terms of the deal were not
disclosed.
"We think adding Vince to our roster will create more
competition for the backup quarterback position," said Bills General Manager
Buddy Nix. He brings with him some unique physical abilities that most are aware
of and that will make the competition interesting. It's all about improving our
team."
Young, a two-time Pro Bowl selection following the 2006
and 2009 seasons, has completed 755-of-1,304 passes for 8,964 yards and 46
touchdowns and added 1,459 rushing yards on 282 attempts with 12 touchdowns in
60 games. He holds a 31-19 record in 50 career
starts.
The 6-5, 232-pound Texas product was selected in the
first-round (third overall) by Tennessee in 2006 and spent his first five NFL
seasons with the Titans before signing with Philadelphia in 2011.
