The Buffalo Bills have signed free agent tight end J.P. Foschi, his agent, Ralph Cindrich, announced on Twitter.

With Derek Schouman sidelined with an undisclosed injury, Shawn Nelson facing a four-game suspension at the start of the regular season, and Michael Matthews dinged up, the Bills have been searching for a veteran tight end.

An undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech, Foschi (6-3, 255) has caught 33 passes for 297 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 33 games with the Oakland Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, and Cincinnati Bengals.

Foschi had a career-year in 2009, starting 10 games and catching 27 passes for 260 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Foschi has also had stints with the New York Jets, Denver Broncos, and Minnesota Vikings.
