"I will forever be a proud member of the Bills Mafia now that I'm done playing."
That was how Ryan Fitzpatrick closed his interview with 2 On Your Side Monday night on Sports Talk Live Buffalo.
What better way to cement that legacy than to have him officially retire as a Buffalo Bill.
GM Brandon Beane said Tuesday he's open to the possibility if that's something Fitzpatrick wants to do and confirmed that he and Fitzpatrick have had discussions about it.
"I don't know what Fitz is gonna do, you know. (We) definitely have had conversations if he's interested. I think the thing for him, it will ultimately be on him if he if somebody wants to do we would of course listen," Beane said.
"I think his biggest thing is he's played for a lot of teams. I think he I think he wants all the fan bases to follow them and not and not feel slighted. So you know, we'll see. We wouldn't close the door on them."
The journeyman quarterback announced his retirement last week after 17 NFL seasons, and stints with nine different teams. He was with Buffalo from 2009-2012.
