ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills have signed first-round draft pick Tremaine Edmunds of Virginia Tech to a four-year deal.

The team announced the signing of the linebacker Saturday. Buffalo traded up to the 16th selection to get Edmunds. He had 109 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2017.

That leaves the Bills with two of eight draft picks unsigned: Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen (first round) and Stanford defensive tackle Harrison Phillips (third round).
