Buffalo stepped up and paid Jordan Phillips.
The Buffalo Bills lost defensive tackle Kyle Williams to retirement this season. They didn’t allow their other free-agent defensive tackle to make it to free agency, officially signing Jordan Phillips to a one-year contract extension on Tuesday, the team announced.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the deal is for $4.5 million.
As we have noted multiple times recently, the first value reported is often the maximum a deal could be worth since it’s the agent leaking the details and trying to show how large the numbers are.
We still don’t know what the signing bonus, workout bonus, salary, and incentive breakdowns will be but we will update the post when we get that information.
A month ago we predicted a one-year deal worth just under $2 million. Without knowing the specifics, it would seem the Bills value Phillips more than that.
Phillips joins a defensive tackle rotation heavy on 1-techniques with big-time free agent Star Lotulelei and 2018 third-round pick Harrison Phillips. Jordan Phillips will also see time as a lane clogger, and Buffalo still needs to add a penetrating defensive tackle to replace Williams and complement the space eaters.
