Bills sign GM Doug Whaley to extension

The Buffalo Bills are going with stability and continuity after Brandon Bolden Jerseysigning general manager Doug Whaley to a three-year contract extension on Sunday. Bills co-owner Kim Pegula made the announcement by posting a note and a picture on her Twitter account. The picture showed Whaley signing a contract and posing alongside Kim's husband, Terry, and team president Russ Brandon. The extension was reached afterhttp://www.patriotsofficialonlineshop.com/brandon-browner-jersey_c-390.html Whaley, coach Rex Ryan and other team officials spent the weekend holding postseason meetings with the Pegulas at their home in Florida. ''Doug has demonstrated an excellent eye for talent and has been an asset to the organization on many levels,'' said Terry Pegula in a statement released by the team. ''I look forward to working closely with Doug and coach Ryan for many years to come.'' Whaley was entering the final year of his contract. A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press that it's a three-year extension. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because http://www.patriotsofficialonlineshop.com/brandon-lafell-jersey_c-388.htmlthe team has only referred to the extension as a multi-year deal. Whaley's contract now runs through the 2019 season, which is in line with Ryan, who has four years left on the five-year deal he signed upon being hired last January. In completing their Brandon Scherff Jerseyfirst full season as owners, the Pegulas stressed continuity entering this offseason even though the Bills finished 8-8 and extended the NFL's longest active playoff drought to 16 years. Two weeks ago, Terry Pegula issued a statement backing Whaley and Ryan, by saying, ''a stable http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Brandon-Scherff-Jerseyfoundation is necessary to achieve long-term success.'' The Bills underwent upheaval a year ago, when coach Doug Marrone opted out of his contract. Last week, Whaley sidestepped questions about his future and the possibility of signing an extension by saying he'll leave that to ownership.
