Rookie tight end Derek Fine signed a contract with the Buffalo Bills today, the team announced.

The team also said it had signed offensive guard Brad Butler to an extension of an undisclosed length. Butler is entering his third season with the Bills since being drafted out of the University of Virginia.

Fine was the second of the Bills' two fourth-round picks in April's NFL Draft. He was a three-year starter at Kansas and set the school's tight end career record with 98 catches for 1,009 yards and 10 touchdowns. In his senior year, he caught 46 psses. Fine was the 132nd overall pick.

Fine is the third of the Bills' 10 draft picks to sign with the team, joining Reggie Corner and Kennard Cox.
