Looks like a fair deal.

Haven’t been this excited for this Bills team in a long time. This is the first time in years that I see the players really building chemistry together. Look for Fitz-Johnson destroying opposing defenses next year. Rumor has it Darrelle Revis is crying in his bed right now. GO BILLS!!!

Damm Buffalo fans be happy you have a good young WR,, yeah he might have dropped a few passes, as he gets older and more games under his belt he will get better and boo hoo about the celebrations, you gotta be in the endzone to do them so at least he was doing something right, if you didnt sign Stevie then who would you have to rely on?

i’d much rather give stevie this deal than give a money hungry vincent jackson 8 or 9 mil a year to watch his play deteriorate. stevie is most valuable to the bills and his numbers justify this contract

On behalf of the Afc east, we would like to thank you buffalo for the next 5 years

Why would you like to thank Buffalo? Do you enjoy losing?

Great contract OBD, It works out for both sides. Johnson is a very good WR and I am happy to have him for 5 more years. 7th round draft pick–> Diamond in the rough. Go Bills!!!!

I’d for one like to thank Stevie and his agent for taking a good deal. Johnson could have held out for a lot more just to end up with the Bengals (or any other crappy team). This looks more and more like a guy who wants to remain in Buffalo and really become a team leader.

Congrats, Stevie – I’m heading off to Mohawk Town.

Great signing for one of the better WRs in the league

That leaves the Bills free to use the franchise tag on… um…. well on…

huh.

I mean, there’s no rule that you have to have a franchise player on your team, right?

Appropriate $$$ IMO …

That’s 23% lower than avg. of top 5 so that should put him in higher end #2 or low end #1 money …

Good deal! Good timing … now don’t go to sleep on eve of FA this year Nix!

At least Fitz is happy about it.

How much per drop does that work out to?

I guess can live with that. I’m still annoyed by all the stupid celebration penalties.

At least they didn’t waste a franchise tag on him.

Love the deal for both sides. Not Larry Fitzgerald money but only a few receivers warrant that. The issue with the Bills is giving a Fitzgerald deal to Fitzpatrick.

Poor Stevie. I guess they could have slapped him with the tag, but I think the open market would have yielded a better contract. Good luck to him! Keep ripping Revis a new one.

He should be paying the team some of that back for being an idiot and costing his team penalties after he scores….. like the guy but had some serious drop and dumb celebration penalties.

To bad he doesn’t have a decent QB to throw him the ball.

Football isn’t a game, it’s a meat grinder. For 8 million a year call me hamburger. Too bad paying a WR means you can’t pay the guys who work the hardest equally, linemen.

Stevie Johnson went to sign the contract, a life changing event, but dropped his pen.

DeSean Jax better realize this is the best case scenario he’s going to get from any team also…

kmurph1226 — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:19:36 +0000

Good deal for both sides. He gets a pretty long contract with good money over those years and the Bills get the right value for a WR who hasn’t hit the top of his prime yet.
