Dixon has been released by the Bills as the team pared down the roster ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The team isn't happy with its quarterback situation behind EJ Manuel, and Dixon had a very small window the past few weeks to step up to the No. 3 spot. However, he had problems holding onto the football Saturday against Tampa Bay, and with that may have flubbed away his final chance to make the team.

Bills signed QB Dennis Dixon to the practice squad. Dixon will serve as veteran taxi-squad insurance with the Bills going with unproven Thad Lewis in E.J. Manuel's (knee) absence. Dixon will be a candidate for promotion if Lewis face-plants and the Bills still don't trust Jeff Tuel.

The Bills are expected to sign free agent QB Dennis Dixon to their practice squad. With E.J. Manuel (knee) sidelined, Dixon will be the No. 3 quarterback behind Thad Lewis and Jeff Tuel. Because he was active for less than six games during his four-year career with the Steelers, Dixon still has practice squad eligibility.

The Bills will work out free agent QB Dennis Dixon on Sunday. Dixon, 28, was released by the Eagles during final cuts. The Bills are also visiting with free agent Pat White this weekend.

Eagles waived or released QB Dennis Dixon, DE Everette Brown, DT Antonio Dixon, DE David King, G.J. Kinne, OT Matt Kopa, CB Trevard Lindley (waived/injured), WR Ifeanyi Momah, WR Will Murphy, C Dallas Reynolds, LB Adrian Robinson and C Matt Tennant. One of Chip Kelly's former college quarterbacks never elevated higher than the fourth-string, and was likely to survive this long. Dixon hasn't appeared in a game since 2010. A 2009 second-rounder, Everette Brown has appeared in just three games since 2010. Momah made some noise in OTAs, but struggled in camp.

Eagles QB Dennis Dixon is working as a fourth-teamer at OTAs. Nick Foles and Michael Vick are rotating first-team reps, and rookie Matt Barkley has already leapfrogged Dixon. The Eagles will likely bring four QBs to camp, but won't keep that many on their 53. Dixon is facing an uphill battle.

Eagles QB Dennis Dixon's contract is worth a maximum of $815,000 in 2013. Dixon's base salary is $715,000, while he could earn a $50,000 roster bonus on top of his $50,000 signing bonus if he makes the team. The low-ball numbers are confirmation Dixon isn't a serious candidate for the Eagles' starting job, despite his belief that he's heading into an open competition.

Eagles QB Dennis Dixon told the Philly Inquirer that it is "his understanding" the team will hold an open quarterback competition in camp. Dixon says his college ACL tear "stunted" his development, and this is the opportunity he's been "waiting for." The Eagles have been tight lipped about their 2013 quarterback plans, saying only that competition will determine who plays and who doesn't play. We don't think Dixon will beat out Michael Vick, but it's not out of the realm of possibility if he stars in camp.

Eagles signed QB Dennis Dixon to a two-year contract. Dixon to the Eagles has been in the works since the Super Bowl ended. He spent the season on the Ravens practice squad, and that contract ended on Monday. Philadelphia had already reached out to Dixon, and he'll be reuniting with his college coach Chip Kelly. He's likely not a candidate to start, but the Eagles are Dixon's best chance at 53-man roster spot while he helps the other quarterbacks learn the offense.

The Eagles will be eligible to sign Ravens practice squad QB Dennis Dixon on Monday. The Eagles are allowed to talk to Dixon - which they have done - but teams have exclusive rights to their practice squad players for one week following the conclusion of their season. However, Dixon will be free to sign with whomever he wants beginning Monday, regardless of whether the Ravens offer him a contract. He's widely expected to end up in Philadelphia.
