The Bills have signed 26-year old center/guard Geoff Hangartner to a undisclosed contract.  Hangartner played in 16 games (8 starts) for the Panthers last season.  He is 6′5″, 301 so he is likely limited to inside duty meaning playing guard or center but he could develop into a starter for the Bills this season.  Hangartner has played in 54 games (27 starts) in his NFL career so far which has spanned 4 seasons.  This was a good signing for the Bills.

For all of you J.P. Losman haters out there you are going to wish he stayed in town if something happens to Trent Edwards now.  The Bills have signed 26-year old Ryan Fitzgerald to back up Edwards in 2009.  He played in 13 games (12 starts) with the Bengals last season and he completed 221 of 372 passes (59.4%) for 1,905 yards with 8 TD passes and 9 interceptions (70.0 QB Rating).  He also carried the football 60 times for 304 yards (5.1 ypc) with 2 TD runs last season.  Fitzgerald has now played in 19 games (15 starts) in his NFL career and he has completed 297 of 507 passes (58.6%) for 2,682 yards with 12 TD passes and 17 interceptions (66.9 QB Rating).  He has also carried the football 77 times for 368 yards (4.8 ypc) with 4 TD runs.  The Bills should have signed someone better than Fitzpatrick.
