Bills sign Taron Johnson to 3-year $31 million extension

[babulator]

Definitely a fan of Taron. I'm a little surprised at the contract and where it lands for the position group though. Seems like a lot. I'll just be happy about keeping around a productive player that I like.

I still move him to Safety and switch to a 4-3

Justin Simmons has 3 years left before reaching the age we released Poyer and let Hyde walk.

 

3 year deal incoming.

That would be wild and really stabilize the secondary after losing a lot of leadership in the room.

Great move and news

[JoeF]

More of this...Always good to get one of the core locked up for longer...

Great move!  Terribly underapprrciated player on this board. He plays the toughest position on the defense and does it with aplomb. 

Until they win the SuperBowl he will have the second best moment in franchise history with his INT TD against the Ravens.

I just want to know how much does this save us against this years cap

[Gugny]

Not even close to the highest paid Nickelback …

Hopefully at least enough to sign a fa starting safety!

Very happy with this move. Good job Beane.

[thronethinker]

Chris Collinsworth will be excited. Seems to be his favorite Bill. 

[Big Turk]

Hell yeah....hugely underrated part of this D...he allows them to play Nickel so much with his ability to come off the edges and stop the run so well.

[Dillenger4]

Yes!  Congrats Taron. Well deserved!

If you guys are correct about Simmons "incoming" we would be set for the draft IMO.

Go get us a stud DE pass rusher at 22 or 28, then another WR then all D.

If we sign Simmons for big money and go DE in the first, I’m starting the GoFundMe for the fire Beane billboard.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Great!!! Now get a Safety & another DT please Beanie Baby.

A fair deal for a great player and almost certainly frees up cap space this year. No notes, perfectly done.

About 4M.

[78thealltimegreat]

He is a flat out great player leaves the bills with room if they want to get a safety or add another defensive lineman or just have the cash to add a surprise post June 1st cut

People are giving you business for this, but if the season started today that is exactly what I would do. Tell me who on this roster is a better Hyde style center-fielder? I've heard people say Taron hits harder than some linebackers, and he clearly has the speed, instinct and ball skills. 

 

Now, I want (and suspect) another safety in FA and one in the draft to keep our scheme, but I honestly think the Bills could play a bit heavier without giving up too much in pass coverage (Milano, Bernard and Williams are generally excellent in coverage)
