Ryan Fitzpatrick has agreed to terms of a new contract that secures him as the long-term start at quarterback for the Bills, according to a source. The extension is valued at $59 million over six years, including $24 million in guaranteed money, according to multiple sources. Fitzpatrick's contract will average $9.987 million during the six years, but $11 million in each of the first three seasons, which often are considered the critical earning years in NFL player contracts.

Jon Gruden will remain in the ESPN "Monday Night Football" broadcast booth for another five seasons. The former Buccaneers and Raiders coach agreed to an exclusive contract with ESPN that begins in September 2012. "Our Monday Night Football crew is special, and to have the opportunity to continue to be a part of this team, working these big-time NFL prime time games every week on ESPN, I'm fired up," Gruden said in a statement.

The Jaguars reached a three-year, $18M extension with wide receiver Mike Thomas, a source said Thursday. According to the source, Thomas will receive $9M, half of the contract, in guarantees.

The Jaguars have signed running back Montell Owens to a contract extension. He is also a special teams ace for Jacksonville. Owens, who made the Pro Bowl for the first time last season, is currently recovering from a knee injury, but the contract talks were well along even before he suffered the injury. The deal is believed to be similar to the three-year, $6.675 million deal that Kassim Osgood signed with the Jaguars as a free agent a year ago.
