Bills defensive tackle Corbin Bryant signs qualifying offer

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Bills backup defensive tackle Corbin Bryant has signed his qualifying offer.

Bryant signed on Monday, shortly before the Bills opened their offseason voluntary conditioning program. He was a restricted free agent, whose rights were retained by the Bills last month, when they tendered him a one-year contract.

Entering his fourth NFL season, Bryant proved his value last year in filling after Kyle Williams sustained a season-ending injury in Week 6. Bryant was credited with 45 tackles and six quarterback hits in 16 games, including 10 starts.
