Forty Whiners can relax, Rexie goes to Bills.

Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News quickly followed with contractual details, as well as insight into why Ryan did not sign with the Atlanta Falcons in a series of tweets:

"Ryan's five-year deal with the Bills will be for $27.5 million.

Source on why Rex Ryan chose the Bills: 'They made him feel wanted.'

Ryan wants to bring the majority of his defensive staff with him to Buffalo, including defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman.

Ryan also wants to bring QBs coach David Lee back to Buffalo.

Ryan ultimately didn't feel like Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff was in his corner despite a productive first interview.

Ryan wanted the Falcons job for family reasons too. Son goes to school two hours away. Has a house in Tennessee four hours away."
