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.

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.

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.

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....

Your last comment on the cap, isn't as simple as that.

 

They could guarantee his salaries in 2026/2027, for example.  Those could each be $16m for all we know.  

 

Bottom line, it's not $32m divided 4.  Im sure they structured this to hit the hardest cap wise, in 2-3years from now.

 

Beane needs to stop losing so much dead cap, due to poor deals.  We have Benford, Groot as locks to be extended.  Highly likely for Bernard, and I'd put Cook at 50/50 though hopeful to keep him beyond 2025.

 

Key is hitting on these 1st/2nd round picks...we're eating Elam $ essentially and Kincaid/Coleman need to elevate their game.
