One day after being released for breaking Geno Smith's jaw in a locker room altercation with the Jets, linebacker IK Enemkpali has been signed by the Buffalo Bills.

The obvious connection is Rex Ryan, who coached the Jets last year and was responsible for drafting Enemkpali in the sixth round out of Louisiana Tech. Ryan is now the head coach of the Bills.

"We all know what happened and things like that," Ryan said. "Obviously, it was a terrible thing that happened. But IK made a mistake, there's no question about that. But instead of listening to this person, that person or whatever -- we had IK last year. A lot of us were around IK, and he was a good teammate."

That quote was taken from this ESPN.com article.

Bills leader Fred Jackson also had this to say:

"Not at all. It's something that I care nothing about," Jackson said. "When he gets here, it's not something that I'm gonna ask him about, trying to figure out what happened, because I frankly don't care. He's a guy that's coming in here to help us win football games, and that's what he comes in here and he does. I could care less what he did in New York."

Enemkpali is no guarantee to even make the Bills roster.
