The Buffalo Bills re-signed right tackle Daryl Williams to a three-year extension Friday, preventing him from hitting free agency this offseason, the team announced.
The agreement is worth $28.2 million and contains nearly $14 million guaranteed, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Williams was expected to be one of the most coveted offensive linemen on the market after putting together arguably his best season in 2020. The 28-year-old took a one-year, $2.25-million deal with Buffalo last year after spending five campaigns with the Carolina Panthers.
Though he had been effective at times in the past, Williams was often beset by injuries while with the Panthers. Prior to last season, he had played 16 games in a season only once.
Williams is the second marquee player to re-sign in Buffalo before free agency. The Bills struck a four-year deal with linebacker Matt Milano on Thursday.
