The New England Patriots are preparing to take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.    One player has had his contract extended through the 2018 season, Eric Lee.    Lee signed with the Patriots last week after being on the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad.    His original deal was going to last through this year but he will be a Patriot next season.    His base salary will be $555,000 for 2018.
