Bills linebacker Joe Andreesen signs 2-year contract to extend stay with hometown team

Orchard Park, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills linebacker Joe Andreesen, also known as "Buffalo Joe," is extending his career with his hometown team after signing a two-year contract deal on Saturday. The 26-year-old has been a part of the team for three seasons, showcasing his skills primarily on special teams.

Known as a local hero in the Buffalo suburb of Lancaster, Andreesen was an undrafted free agent who played college football at both Bryant and Buffalo. His inclusion on the Bills' roster came after he fought for a spot during his college tenure. The team has started the season with a record of 3-0 and will face their AFC East division rival, the New England Patriots, on Sunday.
