Outstanding! He’s worth every penny! Congrats Shakir!

[Cheektowaga Chad]

At first glance that's a good contract for the bills 

 

Nice guarantee for shakir as well 

[Brandon]

That's good,  he's becoming an excellent player and I'm glad the Bills recognize his value to the team.  I'm guessing that the first two or three seasons are relatively team-friendly as well.

[BuffaloBillyG]

Up to $15M a year. Actually lower than I thought but would be.  Only $32M in guaranteed cash? This is a win.

[Magox]

Now we just need to get Cook at around $12m AAV, Bernard at around $10m AAV, Rousseau at around $23m AAV and Benford around $21m AAV.

 

Get all these deals done and that frees up close to $20m from this years cap, extend Josh to an additional 4 years $245m and that will free up another $12m

I'm fine with my thread being rolled into yours. I think they all popped up at the same time. Because, first.

Perfect deal

I have to wonder if Bernard is going to get a 2nd contract. 

Not sure it's the right move. 

[gonzo1105]

Thats a great deal for Buffalo well below what he would have gotten on the open market by about 4 or 5 Million AAV. Gonna have to take that saved cash and give it to Cook most likely.

[BILLS 4 EVER]

Seems on par.  I'm glad we kept him but he is far from a #1. We're going to end up spending a lot at WR. That leaves little wiggle room for Cook and the Defense. We need to spend on D. I wonder how many void years on the signing bonus. How did they spread it to alleviate the cap. 32m/4 =8 m 8m per year plus salary.

I actually thought a little bit the opposite. 

The timing, speed, ease, and price tag of this deal was a direct shot across the bow at Cook. 

Cook aside, great contract for the Bills. 

[ddaryl]

did you notice how Shakir didn't use social media demanding a new contract with a certain amount nor did he delete all references to the Bills....

 

[RiotAct]

Bargain. Nice job Beane.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I think it’s a great signal to Cook that we take care of our own.
