Even in a bye week, the Bills have hit the pause button on contract talks with Ryan Fitzpatrick but sources say he could be soon saying hello to a new deal that will secure him as the team's starting QB beyond 2011. The two sides made enough progress the previous two weeks on a new contract that sources believe a new deal valued among the "second-tier" starting quarterbacks that would average between $9M and $12M is within reach when the team regroups next week. The team and player would like to secure a new deal by the time the Bills take the field Week 8 against the Redskins, sources said.
