Queen City Sports has learned that the Bills have not only begun contract talks with defensive tackle Kyle Williams which was reported last week, but also have started talking to the agents of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Stevie Johnson about long term deals with the organization.

a long term agreement with fitzpatrick would be very premature at this point

and a massive mistake

i have nothing against him but he has proved absolutely nothing to me yet

id love to see him rock it out however he deserves nothing yet

That's great news to hear actually.

I'd say lock up Wood, maybe mid-season Merriman if he's back to his old self.... I'm not sure how long Dwan Edwards has left but I'd like to see him stick around. So for me, Wood, Edwards, probably Scott and Wilson... but definitley good to see Stevie, Kyle and Fitzy will be sticking around hopefully.

Says the guy with the JP Losman avatar... -_-...

Lol I'm joking with you man, but I can agree with that. IF they can lock him up for a decent contract that is moreover backup or mentor money, I'd be ok with that, but if he wants starter money, that'd be premature, but I think the FO may actually be that smart...

Fine by me, that's exactly what I was expecting.

I'm sure Fitzpatrick is in their plans purely as a backup for the future. If he gets an extension, I'm betting it will be front-loaded, which works out fine. He'll probably get paid a decent amount the next couple of seasons (since he'll be the expected starter while our QB-of-the-future is developed), then pay will drop when he becomes the backup.
