Ryan Fitzpatrick grabbed a chair in this offseason's game of quarterback musical chairs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms with the veteran quarterback, the team announced Friday. Fitzpatrick's one-year deal is worth $3 million in base salary and comes with incentives to take that number higher, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source involved.
Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times first reported the news.
The Bucs were in need of a veteran behind starter Jameis Winston. They entered offseason workouts with Ryan Griffin, Sean Renfree and undrafted rookie Sefo Liufau as their backups.
