NFL Insider Adam Schefter was first to report the signing and details.

Undrafted Buffalo QB Tyree Jackson reached agreement with the Buffalo Bills on a deal that includes $75,000 guaranteed, per source.So some of the sting of not being drafted is softened by getting to stay home and to compete for the Bills’ No. 2 QB job.

After the draft, Bills general manager Brandon Beane confirmed that the team and Jackson have an agreement in place, but said things were yet to be finalized.

The quarterback wasn't the only former Bull to agree to a deal with the Bills. He'll be joined by cornerback Cam Lewis.
