Former Buffalo Bills' quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has consistently shown support for the franchise that once gave him a $60 million contract.
He started games for nine different NFL teams over his career, but retired quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick still bleeds Buffalo Bills' blue and red.
Now, Fitzpatrick, a former seventh-round draft pick, is stepping up to help undrafted rookie linebacker Joe Andreessen.reported that the NFL fined Andreessen "$4,421.29 for unnecessary roughness during the win vs. the Seahawks last week making a tackle on a kickoff return in the third quarter." Making the retroactively-imposed fine somewhat ridiculous is the fact that Andreessen's actions were not penalized by the on-field game officials.
That's where Fitzpatrick, also known affectionately as FitzMagic, came to Andreessen's defense. Replying to Ferguson's post, the 41-year-old"DM me Joe’s info and I’ll pay the fine for him….can’t be taking money away from Mr. Buffalo," said Fitzpatrick.this past offseason. Invited to Bills rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, the linebacker earned a contract and proceeded to win a 53-man roster spot.
Fitzpatrick has remained connected to the Bills' organization over the years. He's good friends with former center, and current radio color commentator, Eric Wood.
