Linebacker Matt Milano signed a four-year contract to stay with the Bills this week and that was a surprise given the way things looked last month.
A February report indicated that Milano would hit the open market, but the linebacker told reporters on Friday that he was focused on finding a way to stay where he has been for the past four years.
“I just said to my agent, ‘I love Buffalo. I want to be in Buffalo. I love what they are doing there and see if we can make something happen, ‘”said Milano. “I think that’s what we did. It was a fair deal for both sides. The culture that is forming there now is unreal. We experimented a little in the past year and in the past four years. It is something that I want to continue for the next four years. “
Other Bills players seem to agree with Milano, as tackle Daryl Williams, linebacker Andre Smith and safety Micah Hyde signed new deals with the team before the free agency started.
