The Bills inked cornerback Mario Butler, running back Mike Gillislee, wide receiver Greg Salas and punter Colton Schmidt to undisclosed contract extensions Monday, while also signing seven players to futures contracts.
All four re-signed showed the team enough to warrant a look into 2016, excelling through a rocky December.
The cornerback Butler had a game-saving pass break-up in Buffalo’s 22-17 win over the Jets, dinging wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins just enough to break up a potential 77-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left.
Gillislee, of course, was the December sensation with 267 yards on 47 carries (5.7 avg.) and three touchdowns.
Schmidt set a franchise record with a net average of 41.3 yards per punt.
Salas, signed on Dec. 22, was the team’s second-leading receiver on Sunday with three receptions for 41 yards.
Signing futures deals with the Bills were tight end Blake Annen, safety Jonathan Dowling, tight end Jacob Maxwell, center Ronald Patrick, defensive end Cedric Reed, guard Cyril Richardson and safety Philip Thomas.
