The Buffalo Bills, apparently, needed two men to replace Jordan Phillips on their roster. On Tuesday night they were reported to have agreed to a contract with former Seahawk Quinton Jefferson - and now we have a second contender for snaps: Vernon Butler.
Per NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Bills are signing Butler to a two year contract with $9.3 million guaranteed. The deal can pay out as much as $18 million if all incentives are reached.
Butler, who turns 26 this year, is a former first round pick of the (yep) Carolina Panthers.
