The Bills and star linebacker Matt Milano reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension through 2026, the team announced on Sunday. The move saves Buffalo $6 million this offseason, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The exact figure of the deal is unknown at this time.
With the move, the Bills secure one of their best players while also freeing up space during an offseason where they’ll look to retain as much of their star-studded cast as possible. And Milano is a great start.
The 28-year-old had his best season in 2022, being named to his first Pro Bowl and getting his first All-Pro selection. The incredible year included 99 tackles—72 of them being solo—and he added three interceptions in his 15 games played. Milano will be entering his seventh NFL season, all of which have been in Buffalo.
