Bills reach deal with LB Mitchell
Linebacker Kawika Mitchell has reached an agreement with the Buffalo Bills on a five-year, $17.5 million contract that includes $5 million worth of guaranteed money

[Devin]

Not bad at all.

[YardRat]

Holy ****...That's a steal.

[hydro]

I like!

[DraftBoy]

Great deal!

[clumping platelets]

ESPN sez $3.5 million signing bonus (part of the $5 million guaranteed)

I bet his 2008 salary will be in the $2 million range

[Jaybird]

not terrible boys, we should all be able to accept those numbers

[bigbub2352]

i couldnt agree more that is a solid contract for a huge upgrade at the position

[SquishDaFish]

WOW cheaper then I thought. Awesome job Marv

[shelby]

Threads merged for your convenience...:D

[BAM]

WOW cheaper then I thought. Awesome job Marv

Who? :D

[Hawkeye Pierce]

Well done.

[Night Train]

Briggs will get 4-5 times that.

Smart shopping.

[jdbillsfan]

If Marv was still GM, it would have been 5 years 35 mil.

[ParanoidAndroid]

That's an awfully reasonable contract for a solid starter. But wait....I thought no one wanted to play for Buffalo :D

[ParanoidAndroid]

If Marv was still GM, it would have been 5 years 35 mil.

Marv did not negotiate contracts. That was always Modrak...the same guy who negotiated this one.

[Mitchy moo]

Way to go Jim .:respect:

[SquishDaFish]

WTG front office baby!!

This is dirt cheap! Are you kidding me?

We got lets more to spend my friends... Stroud!

I think your wrong, Its been Jim Overdorf for years now.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I think your wrong, Its been Jim Overdorf for years now.

I think it's both, but Ok....the point was, it wasn't Marv.

[Al the Bills Fan]

Good pickup and we are not breaking the bak on him, I am happy with this signing! It allows us to look to other areas that need attention.

I was just kidding...

[ParanoidAndroid]

I was just kidding...

:doh: sorry

[Michael82]

Wow! I love this deal even more. That is a very fair price. Way to go, Russ!!! :bf1:

[Ebenezer]

He can bring in players all day at that price range.

[Michael82]

He can bring in players all day at that price range.
yeah, especially with all the room we have. :up:

[Easy E-Lass]

Damn that's a steal. Why were the Giants not able to pursue him again at that price?

[kernowboy]

Guaranteed money is comparatively low as well.

[juice]

Good pickup, this LBer group seemed to be a little light in the ass this year especially without Poz, they would get worn out by run teams by the 4th quarter.

[John Doe]

So...

Which side does he play on - Sam or Will?

He weighs 253 - that seems pretty big for a weak side guy.

[yordad]

What a deal. I am fairly surprised.

Is Ralph cheap or what?

[W1DER1GHT]

Wow, I thought that it was going to be a huge number, this is a GREAT deal!

Now all we need is Wys to come in here and tell us wahat a bust he will be....complete with pie charts.

not gonna happen for a while. They cut his internet so he can pay me the bets I won.

The check is in the mail: :dance:

[DynaPaul]

I officially give this signing an A+. Great player, great contract numbers, and just think: Brady might piss his pants having to line up against him twice a year now. Perhaps he'll get Super Bowl flashbacks.

[EDS]

Isn't Mitchell's weakness his lack of athletic ability? I really hope this means the wimpy cover two defense is a thing of the past.

[BillsFever21]

If Mitchell was worth anymore money then he would have gotten here or epecially somewhere else.

He's an average player that played on a great defense with tons of stars around him. He's better then what we have now but he is far from a stud like some are making him out to be. Just because he was on the Giants doesn't mean he is great.

This is just another case of the Buffalo Bills fans syndrome. Whenever a new player is signed they automatically become a great player. Just like Larry Tripplett a couple years ago.

We have an upgrade that will be a decent player but not a game changer. If he was worth 5+ million a year he would have gotten it.

This team needs impact players. Not more average complimentary players at a decent price. We need players who can impact and change the course of a game. Mitchell is not that. He is steady but far from great.
