When the Buffalo Bills deal with defensive end Mario Addison was announced, it wasn’t much of a surprise considering how many former Carolina Panthers found their way to Western New York. He had played four seasons from 2013 to 2016 for Sean McDermott when he was defensive coordinator of the Panthers. However, what was surprising was the contract that Addison received which was just over $30 million for three years for a player who was 32 years old at the time.
