Veteran quarterback Derek Anderson is retiring, the Buffalo Bills announced Thursday.
"Derek let me know a few weeks back that he wasn't sure if he could be committed and wanted to still think about it," Bills general manager Brandon Beane said, per the team's official website. "So I knew going into the draft that this was something that could potentially happen. But it wasn't definite.
"We talked this week, and he let me know today that he is going to retire."
Anderson's last season was spent in Buffalo, where he started two games in place of injured rookie quarterback Josh Allen.
