One young wide receiver who will be at the top of most wish lists if he gets into the free agent market after this year is Peerless Price of the Buffalo Bills. This has been a breakout campaign for the fourth-year veteran and Bills officials are working hard to try to get him signed to an extension that will keep him in Buffalo for a long time. Price has 47 receptions for 639 yards and five touchdowns after seven games. Along with Eric Moulds, he provides Drew Bledsoe the most dynamic and explosive wideout tandem in the league. But he also knows the Bills paid Moulds a signing bonus of $12 million to retain him two years ago. Price, who is playing for just $450,000 in base salary this year, might not command that much. But it's going to take a head-turning offer to keep him from testing the free agency waters and Buffalo officials know it
He says that the Bills officials are working hard to get him an extansion which is good. But to give Price a Moulds like offer might be a little too high, IMO. It sounds like many teams want Price so it might be that the only way to keep him is to sign him to an extension before the FA signing period starts. From what I have heard it sounds like Price really likes it here and likes playing opposite Moulds and catching balls from Bledsoe, I am still holding on to the hope that Price might take a little less than expected to stay here. I am not comforted at all by Pasquarelli's comment that it will take a "head turning" offer to keep Price.
