This is fantastic news . Stability at the C position is paramount for protecting Josh and our offensive success. 
 

Love this

Maybe McGovern can quit whining to the media he hasn't heard anything from Beane.  Like Many of us said, no YOU haven't heard from him, but your agent has.

 

Need to structure it to hit later. Glad Allens Center is back, but more important we Still need Defense

2nd most important position on offense.   
 

Will never convince me otherwise.   

[Process]

Very happy about this. That's a reasonable deal. 

[Kirby Jackson]

Awesome!! Great deal for the Bills 

[Goin Breakdown]

Awesome. Solidify the offense. 

[DJB]

At 13 million a season that’s way below the projected 18+ he probably would have gotten on the open market 

 

Outstanding

I'll need to see the details, but that appears to be quite a bit less than he would have gotten on the open market. Buffalo remains a place that players want to stay, even after McDermott.

[Dablitzkrieg]

Thank God.  The last thing we needed was identifying a starting center.  

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Awesome. Expected as much but good to see. Next offensive line move should be Cybo extension.

Good deal for both him and the Bills. Didn’t think he’d be back but that pretty much sets the Oline now with Edwards being replaced by Anderson or a younger guy

Love it. It does appear he took less to stay, but very happy to keep him here

Yeah I think ideally you add someone to compete with Anderson and Grable, but yeah I think Alec is the front runner

I suspect Josh helped with this one by a friendly restructure.   Just not going to go under center with an unfamiliar butt...😄

It is a good deal, less than I thought he'd get on the open market. This does limit what we can do in the rest of FA though. Probably takes Evans and Doubs off the table. But we can still afford a mid to low tier EDGE, OLB, and safety.
