Orchard Park, NY (Sports Network) – The Buffalo Bills released veteran quarterback Tarvaris Jackson on Monday.<\/p>\n
Jackson was acquired from the Seattle Seahawks for a seventh-round pick last September, but never took the field in the regular season.<\/p>\n
After re-signing with the Bills in the offseason, Jackson was at first expected to compete for a starting job under new head coach Doug Marrone, but the Bills signed former Arizona starter Kevin Kolb and used their first-round choice in April’s draft on Florida State signal-caller E.J. Manuel.<\/p>\n
Jackson started 14 games for the Seahawks in 2011 and threw for career-highs in yards (3,091) and touchdowns (14).<\/p>\n
Prior to joining Seattle, Jackson spent his first five seasons in Minnesota, where he passed for 3,984 yards and 24 touchdowns over 36 games and 20 starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
