Bills sign QB Kingsbury

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Quarterback Kliff Kingsbury was claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills on Monday after Craig Ochs was injured playing in NFL Europe.

Kingsbury is a Texas Tech product, who spent the final 13 weeks of last season as a backup with the New York Jets. He made one appearance for the Jets, completing two passes for 17 yards against Denver on Nov. 20.

Kingsbury spent this spring playing for NFL Europe Cologne.

Ochs sustained an undisclosed injury playing in Frankfurt's season finale last month. He has been placed on the Bills NFL Europe injury list.

Kingsbury broke into the NFL as New England's sixth-round pick in the 2003 draft, but spent his rookie season on injured reserve. He also spent time on New Orleans and Denver's practice squads.

That puts him what, about 3 yards ahead of Losman?

can he beat out Tory Woodbury to be the last QB cut?

What do the Bills homers think about them having to trade one of their QBs because of the salary cap? With as much talent as they have it will be difficult to keep them all.

I'm guessing the salaries of all 3 combined probably make less than most starters in the league. The Bills don't really have any cap issues, and if they don't lock up Nate Clements long term or sign London Fletcher to an extension, that's another $10+ million for next year that won't be used.

looks like I wasted a 7th round rookie pick on Nall. Then again, it's not over yet!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor...
