Bills & OLB Nigel Bradham Discussing A Contract Extension

Mike Rodak of ESPN reports that the Bills are expected to discuss a contract extension with OLB Nigel Bradham at the NFL owners meetings this week.

• Rodak mentions that Bills contract negotiator Jim Overdorf and Bradham’s agent Drew Rosenhaus will both be in town for the owners meetings.

Bradham, 25, still has another year remaining on his four-year, $2.564 million rookie contract. He stands to make a base salary of $660,000 for the 2015 season.

With Kiko Alonso going down with a season-ending knee injury last year, Bradham was forced to take on a much larger role in the team’s defensive. Buffalo wound up sending Alonso to the Eagles in return for RB LeSean McCoy, which leaves Bradham in a position to maintain his workload heading into the 2015 season.

In 2014, Bradham recorded 105 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, an interception, and seven pass defenses for the Bills’ defense over the course of 14 games.

Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 13 outside linebacker in a 4-3 system out of 40 qualifying players.
