I think you can improve on him with the draft I see Milano getting another contract. He's good. Can't have a stud everywhere. We need more depth, but I could see the LB from Wyoming being a potential replacement. I also think his number here is way too high. 3 hours ago, DCOrange said: FWIW, Matthew Fairburn says it sounds like extensions for White, Dawkins, and Milano are a matter of when, not if and that McBeane view those three as long-term core players. good. Esp. White and Dawkins, who are game-changers at their positions. We need more elite players. Milano is a resign if we can get him at a fair (not inflated like the # above) price.

Possibly Milano and of course White and Dawkins but is Dawkins really a game changer? He's a good LT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Milano misses ONE (difficult) tackle in a visible moment in the playoffs....and suddenly everyone wants to let him walk or say he "struggles to tackle". Ridiculous. He'll be re-signed, as he should. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The utter disrespect for what Milano brings to the table is insane to me.

Ridiculous. He'll be re-signed, as he should. I believe Milano is one of the players Beane has specifically mentioned as upcoming needs to sign our own "draft and develop" guys He also made the point that they won't be crucifying guys who played well all year but made mistakes in the Houston game, nor inflating guys who had meh seasons but stepped up in that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have shown the hand they are playing with and it's short a few cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got him in the 5th round. Mid-round picks consistently able to contribute at LB immediately. Every year there are Jayon Browns, DeVondre Campbell’s, Matt Milano’s, and Cory Littleton’s that manage it. Keep him if it makes sense, but there’s no reason to pay him like a pro bowl player when he’s a role player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I think to put that in context one would have to look at how many tackles he makes. One would also have to have something the Bills have, and we lack - knowledge of his responsibility on a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 15 hours ago, BillsVet said: Miffed at why Matt Milano would be re-signed at 50M over 4 years. Nice player, but not someone I'm handing 12.5M AAV. Not even Star Lotulelei could garner a deal of that magnitude! 14 hours ago, KD in CA said: Yup. Little rich for a LB who struggles to make tackles. They can re-up Tre any time. Milano is an excellent player. We saw huge drop offs from the defense when he was out. He deserves to get paid and he will continue to be a big part of the defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His missed tackle rate was 13%; pretty much middling for a starting LB. The guy that missed a bajillion tackles was Jordan Phillips. 24% missed tackle rate ?

Keep him if it makes sense, but there’s no reason to pay him like a pro bowl player when he’s a role player. The Pittsburg "Linebacker U" philosophy that I believe McDermott and Frazier like, is indeed to look for value at LB in the mid-rounds, but it's far more typical for those guys to take a year or two to develop. And I think McDermott and Frazier do feel Milano has a somewhat unique skill set. Milano is a "tweener" who was asked to step up as more of a LB role and did so. Hyde has commented on how unusual he found the Bills personnel choices until he arrived and saw how they used Milano (and how he was able to play).

How so? Please show me anything that was incorrect about my post? Until then, feel free to respond to that last post from me in the “you don’t get starters for anything other than high draft picks” discussion ?
