The Buffalo Bills and first-round draft pick Aaron Maybin have reached agreement on a five-year deal. Maybin is expected to arrive at the Bills’ training facility in Orchard Park, N.Y., on Friday to sign the deal but he will not be at this weekend’s preseason game at Green Bay.
Maybin, a defensive end from Penn State and the No. 11 pick overall in this year’s draft, missed all of training camp. The Bills are counting on him to shore up a defense that tied for the fifth-fewest sacks in the NFL last season, with 24.
The agreement leaves two unsigned first-round picks: offensive tackle Andre Smith, who was taken at No. 6 by the Cincinnati Bengals, and wide receiver Michael Crabtree, the No. 10 pick of the San Francisco 49ers.
