Bills | Buffalo locks in Ed Oliver
Buffalo Bills first-round DT Ed Oliver (Houston) signed a four-year contract worth $19.675 million on Thursday, May 9. The deal includes a signing bonus of $12.329 million.
Footballguys View: Oliver was one of the best players in the 2019 NFL draft regardless of position. He was regularly compared to Aaron Donald in the pre-draft process and those comparisons may not be too far off. Oliver is a freakish athlete at 280 pounds and should be tasked with splitting through the line of scrimmage to get after the quarterback on a regular basis.
