Buffalo Bills ink Chris Kelsay

ESPN.com's John Clayton reported that the deal is worth $5.75 million per year, with $14.5 million guaranteed. Four years $23 million. The Buffalo Bills resigned their 3rd biggest free agent ahead of the beginning of free agency with this questionable contract.

However, be for Bills Nation strings Levy up on the nearest tree lets look at some stats. In 2006:
John Abraham - $2 million, 18 tackles, 4 sacks, 1 pass defended

Patrick Kerney - $4.95 million, 14 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 2 passes defended

Grant Widstrom - $3.5 million, 37 tackles, 4 sacks, 1 pass defended

Dwight Freeney- $5 million, 29 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 3 passes defended

Chris Kelsay - $500,000, 61 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 4 passes defended

A major problem last year was the Bills run defense. Kelsay didn't help to much in this aspect but retaining him should help the along the defensive line. The new cap in the NFL is going to bring some insane unpredictable numbers to people that may or may not deserve it.

Again this seems like some crazy jack for what is perceived as a mediocre d-end to most Bills fans. But hey it appears Levy/Wilson aren't "playing it cheap" If you believe what Marv says, then keeping our own free agents is a key to winning, this accomplished that and hopefully retains what would have been another major hole on the defense. Plus the Bills are being proactive instead of reactive setting the market value. This contract is roughly 5.2% of the Bills entire cap number for 2007 with 53 man roster you should if equally proportioned get 2% giving better players a higher percentage giving our starting d-end across from Schobell an extra 3% isn't that bad. However that's pretty much all the positive I can spin outta this one, lets just hope the rest of this week sees the bills spending money and maybe filling more holes on either line or LB/CB
