I do not know how to provide it as a table but here are the signees presented as graphic (attached) and HTML (extension changed to txt so can be attached).
All figures from NFLPA.org
What is the big deal of it? Many of the contracts (marked in red) are only paid with raises IF they do well 2nd year and then we have bargain players. It appears that Marv and company has gotten their agents to get their players to sign lower in hope of longer term contracts. Maybe no stars but perhaps solid players in a couple years. I'd rather spread money around rather than spend it on one superstar who gets hurt off the field or decides to retire after getting caught smoking/dealing/etc and NFLPA telling Bills they can not get signing bonus back!
Bills are building on Patriots model signing players and if they do paying them well but not too well. Some will call Ralph cheap but I think this is thrifty allowing us to keep Clements tagged, money is future to replace Willis, etc.
