Fitzgerald, Rice and Bruce played very well at 33, 34, 35. For the Bills Bruce Smith got 13.5, 14 and 10 at similar ages. He was still passable at Washington near the end. I included Jerry and Fitzgarald with Bruce because those are different guys. Miller is a different guy. He is first ballot hall of famer. Always kept his body right and is a freak athlete like Bruce. He is not the same as others imo. Its risky yes but a smart bet.

The Cap is a thing poorly run franchises say is what holds them back. Its all make believe and how much money you are actually allocated to spend each year. I think Buffalo might be closer to the actual liquid cash number than Cap number.

With how rare RFAs are signed a big name will be all over it if it happens. Rap or Shafter will drop it. Bates is unique. Idk if he survived or thrived last year. I thought Bates said he feels like LG is his natural position. Saffold is the LG. Bates will have to compete for the RG spot. A few rookies another vet and him I imagine. I feel like Bates at guard is the equivalent to Wallace at Cb. He can do his job but you are looking to replace him.

Thats going rate. In a pinch he will keep the boat afloat.

No one that does the draft for a living had Allen as a 3rd rd pick. He was in the conversation for Cle at 1. Some of his growth is impressive. Too say noone saw it is too far aswell. He was drafted top 10 to be what he is now. Why did the other guy fail and he succeeded? Baker and Darnold try to do what Allen does outside the pocket. They dont have the ability to do it. Allen did it in college. Even against Iowa his team was grossly outmatched. Allen willed a few score by being the best athlete on the field and throwing some absolute lazers. He worked to be the his A+ as consistently as possible and he has achieved it.

For a 7th? Im all for it. Draft a guy day 3 and we are set.

They have the tight to match. I think they will.

Good room guy. Vet min you can do worst. In a pinch might be able to struggles us through. Trubisky was a unique experience. I would be infavor of Barkley and a late rd flyier on a qb.

He is not wrong.

Without AJ Klien Lee has a better chance to make the team. His special teams ability makes Matykavich (sp) a possible cut or trade option. Quick way to get extra cash.

I dont think he leaves LA. Im confident a solid vet takes less to play with Allen.

He has shown 0 ability to rush the passer. No natural bend. I dont see it.

I expect an older vet. Possibly Peterson. Also, draft one early.

Idk. He has lost touch with the modern athlete imo. Drafting is a problem for him. Doesnt want to pay corner because of backwards thinking. Players farthest away from the ball you value the least. The game has evolved. Cb and Wr are becoming a premium position. He values FA cbs over his own in many cases.

With Howard brought in Idk if TE is top of my list for needs. CB 2 is my highest priority at the moment. I wouldn't want to depend on a day 2 wr to make a big impact. I think Buffalo is front and center for a vet wr. One that misses on big money come in for a prove it deal and have Allen make you money next year and compete for a chip while it happens.

Overall, Miller has had the better career. Playing for a Championship he has shown better play over the last season. No draft compensation and similar money, I think it was the right call. Miller dominated 2 Superbowls. Won MVP in one and was in the running for 2 this past year.

He helped Allen evolve to the Qb he is now. Much repect for Bease. I think the whole anti vax thing soured him to some. Overall, Mckenzie will need to make a massive step up to mitigate his loss. I expect Buffalo will be on the hunt for a cheaper vet to come in and help with that role and target share.

Oj Howard is a sneaky good signing imo.

Still gotta try. Will it be the same level? No probably not. Overall, I like Beanes approach. Dont over pay for FA. Make runs at premier players. Miller even now is a premier player. Bruce was a productive pass rusher into his late 30’s. Miller is a gold jacket guy. They are different humans.

Is he worth it? I think he is. Von Miller is an OG in the NFL. Future Hall of Famer. Bills offense will set him up for some monster games. I like the message its sends. Not the same Bills no more. Im stoked.

2 athletes at TE gives Allen and the offense more weapons.

Juju on a 1 year prove it deal would be great.

He plays the way he did in the playoffs for us we are set. Von Miller is a dude. Well done.

Does the Ghost have all his fingers?

Yes allows the player to be a free agent today. Team saves more money by designating it June 1 but wont get the actually money off the cap til June 1. Saves players from being cut after FA and draft. Gives the player a better chance at more money and opportunities.
