6 Bills most likely to receive contract extensions

Six players on the Buffalo Bills most-likely to receive contract extensions from the team.

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has a job that’s almost never done.

Beane and his front office staff have to fill out a massive roster prior to training camp, scout draft prospects, and of course, work the salary cap.

In doing so, Beane has always stated he wants to lockup his own guys first and foremost. Whether that’s big piece or role players, there’s plenty of guys on the Bills that are entering contract years who could already be under consideration for another deal.

Here are six Bills players that are most-likely to receiver extensions from the Bills after the 2020 season:

In Dean Marlowe, the Bills have a guy willing to chip in on special teams and a quality depth-safety option. Buffalo recently re-signed Marlowe to a one-year deal, and inked fellow safety Jordan Poyer to an extension. That puts Poyer and Micah Hyde in a position to remain the Bills’ starting safety tandem for the foreseeable future.

So with that in mind, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it approach here. Marlowe had 11 tackles and one pass defended last year. The 27-year-old played in 108 snaps on defense, making two starts, in a depth role in 2019. He played in 22 percent of Buffalo’s special teams snaps as well. Marlowe has plenty of experience filling in for both Hyde and Poyer as Buffalo’s No. 3 option at safety, so barring any setbacks in 2020, another short-term extension once again could be a smart deal for the Bills.
