Terrence McGee Signs Contract Extension

This is Terrence McGee’s seventh season in Buffalo. But he’s only spent the past two as the team’s top cornerback—which means he gets to chase the opposition’s best receiver all over the field week-after-week. Obviously he’s been up to the task. In fact, last year he was the Bills’ leader in interceptions and pass breakups. So, he was awarded for his talents today. And a new four-year, $27 million contract extension will keep him in Buffalo’s defensive secondary.

Terrence was scheduled to be a free agent when this season ends. But he won’t need to spend any time thinking about that possibility now:

“You definitely feel good about your long term security when you can get a deal like this done, but more importantly it allows you to focus more on football. At the same time I did my best to not even think about it because you don’t want it to affect your play. But it is good to get it over with and focus on making it to the playoffs.”

Terrence is doing less work for more money these days. Remember, he used to return kickoffs until defensive back Leodis McKelvin very successfully relieved him of those duties last season. Of course, after last Monday Night’s performance against the Patriots (Leodis had two KO return fumbles—one that ultimately decided the game), the Bills might be rethinking that.
