Could mean the signing of Stevie Johnson? The thread was stickied so it has to be legit.

Think a lot of <s>@</s>buffalobills (https://twitter.com/#%21/buffalobills) followers will be excited about the 10 am presser. Looking forward to it.

From Russ... It's done! I'm stoked.

SO EXCITED....regardless of whether you think Stevie is a clear #1 WR or a solid #2, i think we can all agree hes a good player, and we havent exactly locked many of them up in past years.

Why are we having a PC to announce a re-signing. Doubt there is any other team in the league that does that...

I know the issues with him just like everyone else.

But, I've said it before, Stevie is my favorite player since the SB years!

So excited about this. I was really worried.

What was close last night was finished today: Bills and wide receiver Stevie Johnson reached agreement on a five-year deal.

NONSENSE. If & when the Saints resign Brees, you can bet they will hold a PC.

What else positive do we have to talk about?

This is awesome news! Now I dont have to feel like I wasted money by buying the Stevie replica at Dicks for $15. :dance:

Excellent! I hope we got him for a cheap price so the Bills can still be very active in free agency. :pray:

I think it's 5 years for 42.5 with 18 guaranteed.

5 year 7.5 per Maybe

5 year 7.5 per MaybeI really think it will be more. We will see.

Love it if you were right though.

Is that Stevie? It looks like him, but the picture is so backlit that it's hard to tell.

Other teams do it on a regular basis for their top FAs.

Pat Moran reports Bills and SJ not close. Johnson to test free agency. Bet your kid on this.

No truth to the rumor that he gets a 100k bonus for every game he doesn't get an excessive celebration/unsportsmanlike penalty

Best line in the PC:

He is tough. Playing any position/sport with a groin injury for half the season is impressive; let alone receiver.

I am not denying that - the "for a receiver" part was funny though

Never seen that happen. Could be wrong.

Do you pay attention to every NFL team 24/7? It's not like these pressers get shown on ESPN.

I pay pretty close attention to NFL news. I just don't ever remember seeing a GM set up a press conference after re-signing their own player.

Don't you watch NFL network? I think I've seen press conference clips for almost every single major contract extension/signing. I was watching a clip from the press conference for Cleveland's D'Qwell Jackson's extension just last week.
