Linebacker Matt Milano signed a four-year deal to stay with the Bills this week, and that was a surprise, given the way things looked last month.
A report in February indicated that Milano would reach the open market, but the linebacker told reporters on Friday that he had been focused for the past four years on finding a way to stay where he was.
“I just told my agent, ‘I love Buffalo. I want to be in Buffalo. “I like what they’re up there and see if we can make something happen, ” Milano said. “I think that’s what we did. It was a fair deal for both sides. The culture that is currently breeding there is unreal. We predicted it a bit last year and the last four years. This is something 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 all signed new deals with the team before the free agency began.
