Young's base salary will be $2 million, but he could earn up to another $1 million in playing time bonus. The move is particularly interesting because the Bills, a franchise that has danced around in futility for a while now, has two of the top three picks of the 2006 NFL Draft, the one in which the Houston Texans passed on the hometown product young, for the more imposing Williams.
Young went 1-2 as a starter for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, but was primarily the backup quarterback for the often injured Michael Vick.
