Anyone think this will nudge the Pakers to upgrade Kampman's deal?

BILLS EXTEND SCHOBEL

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Buffalo Bills have signed defensive end Aaron Schobel to a contract extension.

Ripping up a deal that ran through 2009, the Bills have given Schobel a seven-year deal with $21 million in guaranteed money and a total value of $50.5 million.

Included within the guarantee are the full base salaries in 2007, 2008, and 2009, along with $6 million in salary in 2010.

Under his prior contract, Schobel was scheduled to earn base salaries of $2.5 million in 2007, $2.5 million in 2008, and $3 million in 2009.

Schobel was a second-round draft pick in 2001, and has 60.5 career sacks. He has started in every game since the 2002 season.

Though Schobel arguably was worthy of a new deal, the decision to re-do the contract with three seasons remaining could cause other players with multiple years remaining on their own contracts to ask for more money sooner.

AK should get a raise as well. Not as big as that one though. Maybe an extra 1.5 mil per year or something.
