Rex Ryan will coach Buffalo Bills

 (Associated Press)

Rex Ryan is staying in the AFC East after reaching an agreement Sunday to coach the Buffalo Bills. A person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press the former New York Jets coach accepted the Bills’ contract offer after two days of discussions. The offer was made a day after the Bills identified Ryan as a finalist and met with him for a second time in South Florida, where new owners Terry and Kim Pegula live. Ryan was one of 12 candidates to interview for the job since last weekend. At the same time, a second person familiar with talks told the AP the Bills are negotiating to hire Greg Roman as offensive coordinator. Roman, a finalist for the Bills’ coaching job, spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator. Roman’s future is uncertain in San Francisco after coach Jim Harbaugh left to coach Michigan. – Associated Press
