Buffalo Bills' GM Doug Whaley told WGR-AM on Tuesday morning he had a sit-down meeting with C.J. Spiller's representatives about a long-term contract extension for the running back, per the team's official Twitter feed.

"He's a playmaker, and we're trying to keep as many playmakers as possible," Whaley said.

Spiller's future in Buffalo has been murky as he enters the final season of his rookie deal with concerns over his usage in Doug Marrone's system.

Buffalo Sabres' owner Terry Pegula has reached an agreement to buy the Buffalo Bills, according to a source informed of the process. The deal should become official on Tuesday.

The Pegulas have garnered great support from public officials and business leaders for their commitment to keep the Bills in Western New York. The 63-year-old billionaire found success as a natural gas and real estate mogul.

"It's historic for Buffalo," the source told Rapoport.

Kyle Orton signed a two-year, $11 million deal contract with the Buffalo Bills.

Orton will receive $5.5 million this season, which is the most of any backup in the NFL.

Orton will begin the season as E.J. Manuel's backup.

The Bills had been pursuing Orton since he was granted his release by the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the offseason.
