The Buffalo Bills today signed former University of Hawai'i receiver C.J. Hawthorne.

The undrafted rookie free agent had 61 catches for 859 yards and six touchdowns in 13 starts last season, his first at receiver after being converted from cornerback.

Hawthorne took the roster spot of Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, who was placed on the reserve-did-not-report list. Peters is being fined for refusing to report to training camp because he wants the final three years of his contract restructured.
