Buffalo Bills face key decision on extending linebacker Tremaine Edmunds

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills may be early favorites to reach the Super Bowl LVII -- Caesars Sportsbook gives them 7-1 odds -- but there’s plenty of work still to do, including potential extensions for the likes of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, restructuring contracts, and drafting new players.

One of the hot button topics surrounds the future of linebacker Tremaine Edmunds.

The Bills picked up the fifth-year option on the 16th overall pick in the 2018 draft, and Edmunds is guaranteed $12.7 million in 2022. Edmunds wears the green dot on his helmet, so he's responsible for relaying coaches' signals to teammates and plays a key role in coordinator Leslie Frazier’s defense as the middle linebacker alongside Matt Milano, who signed a four-year, $41.
