After failed stints with the Falcons and Dallas Cowboys, Peerless Price signed a four-year contract Monday with the Buffalo Bills, rejoining the team where he had the most success.
His new contract is worth more than $10 million and includes incentives if he becomes the Bills' No. 1 receiver.
The signing comes a week after the Bills traded disgruntled starter Eric Moulds to Houston. Price's agent, Tim McGee, said Moulds' departure led him to contact the Bills last week, believing the team could use an established receiver.
"Very seldom do you see all the things fall in place in this business, but I thought it was one of those situations where it was a no-brainer," McGee said.
Price was Buffalo's second-round draft pick in 1999 and enjoyed his best season in 2002, with 94 catches for 1,252 yards and nine touchdowns.
With Buffalo's permission to seek a trade, Price negotiated a $37 million deal that included a $10 million bonus with Atlanta. In return, the Falcons traded Buffalo a first-round draft pick.
In Atlanta, Price caught 109 passes for 1,413 yards and seven touchdowns in two seasons and was released before last season.
Price then signed with Dallas but continued to struggle. He was released in December after catching six passes for 96 yards in seven games.
"Peerless has shown what he can do," McGee said. "It's just a matter of getting refocused and rekindle his career by showing he can do it. He hasn't lost a step."

How any team could pay Price this amount of money is beyond me. Price has to be the luckiest
man in the entire world to even get a offer , much less 10 million more.
If he hasnt lost a step its a miracle. Price will lead the league in dropped balls.
Bills losers
