  1. If we fall to 6-8, very possible even playing pretty well, I could see them trying to showcase Knox, and they should.  He was a top 12ish tight end and should be worth a third in trade value, though the terrible numbers this year have destroyed all hope of a third. Kincaid, on the other hand, will be a special player if he is not one already.  One of those rare players that defenses have to account for every play.  

  2. I heard all the complaining about the chiefs non-PI call on how it was the worst non-call in the history of the league etc. Then I watched the play, and couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about.  First in real time it was a bang bang play.  In that case the DB should always be given the benefit of the doubt. We need games played more in line with letting them play.  Second, the receiver was a jag. Jags do not get calls that are close whoever they are playing for. Look at sherfield last week.  Third, and most important, the DB was plausibly making a play on the ball.  His head was turned toward the backfield, he had a right to the ball, and the the receiver was in his way. The DB should always get the benefit of the doubt in that situation.  I’m glad I missed it live so as to have escaped listening to collinsworth.

    This kind of idea is a totally revisionist. Von  has always been pushed as one of the stand up, nice guys in the league. Before this he wouldn’t have made the top 100 individuals across the NFL, and after this he likely still doesn’t make the top 10. 

     

    Based on all that, saying any team would make Von Miller  the first ever player to have a voidable contract based on off field behavior is a total pipe dream that only happens here and on Twitter. 
     

    The only way out of the Von contract is to get some help from the league or for Miller to work on a retirement/injury settlement. 

    That’s it. 

     


    Deshaun Watson’s guaranteed contract is voidable if he’s suspended 2 games per BR and PFT.

    That was 100% pass interference.  The DB can play the ball, that doesn't give him the right to mug the receiver en route to the ball.  

     

    He was early on the contact.  That's PI.


    League has been giving the PI calls depending on the skill level of the receiver more than ever. That’s why there was no call last week when sherfield was tackled before the ball arrived

    Rodgers renegotiating his own contract is way different.

     

    As far as I know there is no contract in league history that was every voided based on any morality or behavior clauses. Like I said early Hernandez, Ruggs, AP, Vick, all carried cap hits for their teams. 
     

    My best guess is Von retires and negotiates some sort of settlement.
     

    But the idea that Von signed a contract up front that would void his entire deal based on off field behavior is a pipe dream. It’s never happened…ever.

     
     

    It would make sense for the Bills and the limited market of teams (only Rams, Cowboys) competing for his services to insist on a strongly-worded morality clause.  Von not only had a domestic abuse claim issue that went away relatively quietly in 2021, but was also busted for PEDs early in his career.

    The recording is noted in the body of most of the early articles.

    She texted a local news station a day later to say this was a nothing burger.

    Is there a source on this?

     

     Vick, Ruggs, Hernandez all came with cap hits. If Von’s contract gets voided it would be an NFL first. 


    If renegotiating by Rodgers can change the cap hit of the Rodgers contract I would think triggering of a void provision in the Von contract can change the cap hit of the Von contract.

    Anyone else notice that the magic seemed to be gone once Von Miller got here? Last year seemed off and this year is weird. I miss 2019-2021 when we were explosive on offense and were a turnover machine on defense 


    Von was instrumental in beating the Chiefs on the road in 2022 forcing the game winning int.  He made a strip sack in the third v the pesky Jets on the road in ‘22 that should have won the game. Only the team didn’t win.  He made a game winning sack v the Vikings in ‘22 putting them in fourth and forever.  Then Cam completed the catch for JJ.  Was third in the NFL in pressure rate at the time of the injury. The NFLPA wants to ban the turf he got injured on because it causes so many injuries.
