Orchard Park, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills guard Quinton Spain plans to re-sign with the team, he told NYUP.com on Thursday evening.

Spain played his first season for the Bills in 2019 and started all 16 games at left guard. He didn’t surrender a single sack all season.

The deal is for three years, per ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that the deal is worth $15 million over the three years. Spain was a big part of the new-look Bills offensive line in 2019 that featured four new starters in front of Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen.

Spain tweeted to Bills Mafia on Thursday evening with excitement. When reached for comment, he told NYUP.com that he he’s thrilled to return to the Bills.

“Happy to be back and ready to continue what we started and didn’t finish last year," Spain said. “We got something special going on in Buffalo and I didn’t want to pass up on that opportunity.”

The Bills lost in the AFC Wild-Card round in a heartbreaker to the Houston Texans. The Bills were up 16-0 early but the Texans found a way to come from behind to eliminate the Bills after they earned their second playoff berth in three seasons under coach Sean McDermott.

Allen is going to be excited to have Spain back in 2020 after the protection he gave the young quarterback in his second season. At the end of the season Allen gave Spain props for his attitude on the field and the way he plays the game with “fire.”

“He’s a really good dude. I love him and I wish we’d get him back too. If I had a say, we’d have in back,” Allen said in January. “He’s just one of those guys that you want on your team. He’s a team guy, he communicates well to the guys, he gets along with everybody in the locker room, he’s good presence and when he goes out on the football field and plays really well. I hope he knows that I love him and that’ll never change.”
