Rather than risk losing him as a restricted free agent or tender him at a high salary, the Bills gave Nickell Robey money up front to secure his services for two more years at highly reasonable cap hits.
Although he signed it last Sunday, the initial details of the new contract that Nickell Robey signed with the Buffalo Bills were only revealed yesterday. Per ESPN's Mike Rodak, Robey's two-year extension will pay him $4.1 million in new money, with $1.3 million guaranteed. The contract also contains incentives which can increase its total value to $5.
