BUFFALO, N.Y. -- When it comes to Buffalo Bills players who are due for sizeable contract extensions in the near future, much of the conversation (deservedly) surrounds quarterback Josh Allen, who stands to become one of the highest paid players in NFL history.
Swept somewhat under the rug, however, is two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who as the Bills' 2018 first-round draft pick enters his fourth NFL season at 23 years old.
Buffalo picked up the fifth-year option worth $12.7 million on Edmunds' rookie contract in May, after general manager Brandon Beane suggested that if the option was picked up for Edmunds as well as Allen, it wouldn't make much sense to do so without extending both players.
