On Wednesday Devin Singletary Jersey Boys , the Buffalo Bills announced they had reached an agreement with veteran linebacker and special teams standout Lorenzo Alexander on a one-year contract extension. According to several sources, including Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network and Field Yates of ESPN, the two sides agreed to a contract that will have a max value of $4.55 million, with a base value of $3 million and a $550,000 signing bonus. The $3 million base salary represents 1.51 percent of Buffalo’s total salary-cap figure in 2019.The terms of the contract appear to be reasonable, given Alexander’s contributions to Leslie Frazier’s 4-3 defense and on special teams. Alexander, Buffalo’s defensive captain, appeared in all 16 games (eight starts), making 6.5 sacks (second-most on the team) to go with 74 tackles (11.5 for losses), ten quarterback hits, nine passes defensed, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery Youth LeSean McCoy Jerseys , and a career-best two interceptions. The versatile Alexander, who was Buffalo’s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for the 2018 season, is capable of lining up as an outside linebacker or along the defensive line as an edge rusher or even interior lineman. He is adept as a run-stuffer and in pass coverage. Alexander’s presence played a large role in Buffalo’s top-notch defense, and talented youngsters like Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano should continue to benefit from having Alexander—a One Man Gang—on the team. This is Alexander’s third contract with the Bills. In 2016, he signed a one-year deal for the league minimum of less than $1 million. Alexander rewarded the Bills with a breakout season, earning a Pro Bowl nod after leading the team with 12.5 sacks. Following his dominant debut, Alexander inked a two-year, $5.95 million contract in 2017. Alexander, 35, was slated to become an unrestricted free agent in March but had expressed a strong interest in playing one more season in Western New York. Now, he gets that wish. No details were available on the nature of the incentives built into the contract. Kyle Williams had $500,000 available in per-game incentives a year ago and a $150,000 bonus for collecting six sacks on the year. It’s likely Alexander’s incentives are a mixture of games active and performance LeSean McCoy Jerseys Stitched , as well.What can we even learn from a Week 1 blowout? What, if anything, did we learn about the 2018 Buffalo Bills during their 47-3 beatdown at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1?Can anything actually be tangibly discerned from such a lopsided performance? That when a team is cleanly beaten in every facet of a game by a superior opponent, they’re going to lose by a lot, and look terrible in the process? Isn’t that much obvious?I shouldn’t expect the Bills to look that bad every week this season, correct? Assuming they’re able to play competitively more often than not, doesn’t that make one season-opening blowout loss essentially meaningless? Should we just consider next weekend’s home opener against the Chargers a Week 1 re-do, and pretend that mess we saw yesterday didn’t happen?Even if we play the Sean McDermott card and watch the tape, wouldn’t we just end up confirming our first-glance suspicions? That the quarterback play was awful, the blocking was worse, the receivers couldn’t separate from defenders frequently or catch the ball when they did, the pass rush couldn’t close the deal, the secondary broke down too often Youth Kyle Williams Jerseys , and that there were too many negative plays on special teams? That a team with an incredibly small margin of error to effectively compete couldn’t accomplish basic tasks like converting third downs offensively, stopping third downs defensively, or winning the turnover battle?Say, would you like to read about something slightly different now? The game was bad, so let’s focus on the bigger picture, shall we?When should we start to question “the process?” If there was some sort of grand plan to let Josh Allen sit and learn, why did it only take 33 minutes and 38 seconds of live game action to scrap that plan? What did they expect Allen to pick up experientially from a half of football not that different from general preseason action? How can the team possibly consider putting Nathan Peterman and his resilience back into the starting lineup after benching him for the second time in three career starts?They’re not going to do that, right? Aren’t they in a have-no-other-choice scenario now vis a vis starting Allen?This isn’t going to end well, is it?Bad teams aren’t made in one week, are they? Do they have it in them to turn things around quickly enough to avoid that label? Will the Bills improve enough that we can start trying to figure out what kind of team they can be this season? Or will our misery continue, and only add to our pile of questions?
