The Buffalo Bills have locked up a critical piece of their roster for the future - but it’s not Josh Allen. Long snapper Reid Ferguson, who was under contract through the 2021 season, has signed a three-year extension with the Bills, the team announced Friday.
Ferguson, 27, has been the team’s long snapper for four consecutive seasons after emerging from LSU and the Bills practice squad. The highly specialized role is a vital part of the special teams unit. When it’s done well, the kicking game is seamless. When it’s done poorly, it leads to disaster.
