ORCHARD PARK, NY - The Buffalo Bills today announced
that TE Scott Chandler has agreed to terms on a contract extension with the
team. In accordance with team policy, terms of the deal were not
disclosed.
Chandler caught 38 passes for 389 yards and six
touchdowns in 14 games with nine starts in 2011. His six touchdown catches
matched a single-season franchise-record among tight ends. Chandler's 38 catches
marked the most by a Buffalo tight end since 2001 and eighth-most since
1990.
Chandler was claimed and awarded off waivers from the
Dallas Cowboys by Buffalo on December 3, 2010. The 6-7, 260-pound Iowa product
originally entered the NFL as 2007 fourth-round draft
pick of the San Diego Chargers. He spent the 2009 season on the Cowboys practice
squad before being signed to the active roster of the New York Giants for the
final two games.
