Nick Barnett is the newest member of the Buffalo Bills.

In a series of posts on Twitter, Barnett made clear that he’s excited about heading to Buffalo.

“God has blessed me once again to be part of a great organization.. Great coaches, Great staff, Great players and more importantly great fans,” Barnett wrote, before adding, “GOBILLS.”

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Barnett and the Bills agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal with $6 million guaranteed.

Barnett was in Buffalo this morning (pictured talking to Bills assistant head coach/inside linebackers coach Dave Wannstedt) and canceled a trip to Detroit. Barnett joins the Bills after playing his entire eight-year career with the Packers.
