Two Bills Drive

Pat Williams’ five-year contract extension with the Bills last week was a true indication that the reserve nose tackle is solidly in the team’s plans. Of course, Ted Washington is still signed for the next three seasons as well. Does that mean Williams is stuck behind Washington until 2003?

The Bills’ scouting staff has continued to find very good players in the draft year after year. They are players who are able to step in and contribute immediately such as Sam Cowart, Antoine Winfield and Peerless Price.

Article makes plenty of good points about Buffalo’s low draft positions over the years. The success is a tribute to Buffalo’s front office and coaching staff through the years.

Last year the AFC-East became known as the best division in the NFL – times have changed.

Reserve nose tackle Pat Williams signed a five-year contract extension with the Bills on Wednesday. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. In February, Williams was tendered a high offer in the $1 million-range as a restricted free agent.

Jonathan Linton said he would miss Ruben Brown if he jumped to another team. But he added fans shouldn’t read into Brown’s still-unsigned status as an indication that he might re-sign with Buffalo.
