The Buffalo Bills announced that they have signed Aaron Schobel to a contract extension. The terms of the deal were not released but the Bills are hopeful that he will remain with the team for the rest of his career.
“We’re trying to keep our good players, and one of the ways you do that is you go to them early and work out deals in order to keep your own,” Overdorf said before Buffalo played Tennessee in a preseason game. “Hopefully, Aaron finishes his career as a Buffalo Bill. That was one of his objectives in this, too.”
This is truly good news for the Buffalo Bills. Schobel is the catalyst of this defense and seems to apply pressure on opposing Quarterbacks on every single play. I expect big things out of Schobel this season and for seasons to come. We are talking about a Pro Bowl defensive end that Buffalo could ill afford to lose. His sack totals have gone up every year with eight in 2004, 12 in 2005 and 14 in 2006. Stay tuned for the terms of the deal and we can find out just how long we will be able to watch Aaron Schobel.
I guess this will eliminate the rumors we had heard during the mini-camps that Schobel could be traded and that he wasn’t happy with his contract. I think this makes it possible for Schobel to play without any off field distractions, which is extremely important because of the veteran leadership he will bring to the table.
