Williams Contract Details: If Jason Peters wasn't upset about his contract before, he may be more upset now after seeing the details of the contract extension signed by Kyle Williams yesterday. Williams had two years left on his deal but added three more and it is worth up to $14.4 Million. He is guaranteed $5.2 Million over the next two years. He received a roster bonus of $1.75 Million and will make a base salary of $700,000 this year. Which is a raise of more than a quarter of a million dollars from what he would have made in base pay this year. He will get another roster bonus in March for $1.5 Million. The new deal gives him a base salary of $12 Million over the next five years not including bonuses. Not bad for a marginal starter in his first two years. His agent said they were flattered when the Bills came to them a week ago looking to extend the contract saying these types of extensions aren't normally made. Do you think it's too much money for Williams? Take our poll on the homepage and let us know!

Williams Signs Extension: The Bills continue to lock up their younger up and coming players. A week after giving Brad Butler a contract extension, the team inked Kyle Williams to a contract extension. Williams has started for most of his two years since being drafted in the 5th round of the 2006 draft. He had two years left on his rookie contract. The team has made it a point in recent years to lock up young players instead of letting them hit the big day in free agency. It started with players like Terrence McGee and Jason Peters. The team is expected to try and lock up Lee Evans before the season starts. Peters is also looking for a new deal.

Viti Released: The Bills announced yesterday that they have released FB Mike Viti. The Army product looked the part of an NFL fullback but he was buried on the depth chart and didn't get many reps in mini camp. Front Office Page.

Lynch's Troubles Not Over: While the criminal issue is behind Marshawn Lynch the hit and run issue isn't all behind him. He admitted in his statement that the issue may still come up but he won't talk about it when it does. Two issues that remain include a possible civil suit by the woman he hit and punishment from the NFL office. When Roger Goodell was in the area on Friday he said the office is monitoring the situation and will gather all the facts after the criminal process is complete. As a first time offender and the fact he just pleaded guilty to a traffic violation it appears a suspension may not happen. He will have to open up his wallet though. He has already paid a $100 fine and a $50 surcharge to the department of motor vehicles. He may see an additional fine from the league. The biggest chunk to come out of his wallet may come if a civil suit is filed but look for a deal to be made out of court with the victim.

Butler's Contract Details: The Buffalo News is reporting the details of the contract extension signed by Brad Butler on Wednesday. The deal add three years to his contract and locks him through 2012 at an average of $2 Million a year. The extra years adds $8.8 Million of new money and shouldn't have a financial impact on the club in gaining new deals for Lee Evans or Jason Peters. His base salary now will be $955,000 this year, $1 Million next year, and $1.55 million each of the last three years. Front Office Page.
