They will need to pay White and Allen to keep the core together. Only so much to go around and I like Milano, just think he's going to be odd man out 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Matt Milano watches Different tier player in my opinion, but it is a good number to reference. I was thinking 10 for Milano, now I’m wondering if he gets 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think it all depends on how much he likes playing in Buffalo, in McDs scheme and alongside Edmunds. He’s probably going to have to give us a sizable discount in order to retain him. I think 9 is ideal for us and 10 is the highest Beane may go if that much. McD and his scheme seems to make every Lb look pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Milano is, and was, always looking at $14M ish? Does it get done? Who knows. He isn’t signing for $8m or $10M as some people hoped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunds also has the 5th year option to consider. He won't need to be signed until a couple years after Milano. Milano may take a discount too. He did say he wasn't interested in playing anywhere else. 1 minute ago, Kirby Jackson said: Milano is, and was, always looking at $14M ish? Does it get done? Who knows.

Yeah, I’m not sure I’d pay him $14m but someone is in this market. He stacks up favorably to guys getting that. If I’m his agent that’s my floor. I could see him taking a little less for the Bills but not much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he would’ve tackled Watson instead of bouncing off of him. Edited August 30, 2020 by NewEra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag him for a year if you want to give another off-season to find his replacmemt. Small guys like him fade fast. Don't commit long term money to him. The only way to keep Edmunds, Milano, and White is if Allen is a bust. If that is the case then Beane and McD will have bigger issues to deal with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Milano take a discount? No way, unless the weak market forces him to which could happen. Might not be a lot of money out there next season. Beane said there will be players they want to sign but can't. Who else would you describe as one of those players? I guess we'll have to see where the cap is next year. They could always push money into the future also. I guess it's possible, but as Beane said he can't sign everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The question I have with FA is what happens if the season is cut short? If they play 8 games, will this count as an accrued season? Plus, I would think there’s going to be a lack of good data for a good handful of future FAs and they may be forced to take a discount. I don’t think Milano would be one of those, but I could see this shaving a million off per year. He’s very good, but he’s not a game changer. Edmonds isn’t either, but hopefully he gets there soon.

GETTOTHE50 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 no idea why people think milano is going to cost so much. he has received no accolades, was a mid-late round pick, and has some injury history. hes very signable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Isn’t Cunningham the dude that made the huge hit on Josh Allen after Mitch Morse and Dawson Knox ran by him. Thinking about that play drives me nuts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fair take. I will point to the fact that the D struggled some when he was out last year. That’s also due to a very steep drop off from Milano to the backups. Then there is the fact that McDermott’s D has always used two good agile versatile LB’s to operate most efficiently. I would let the year play out and see how Matt does. If Milano can stay healthy and have another strong year then you have to try and sign him. The cap has everything thrown off. So who knows. Maybe this is a good sign though. Houston signed Tunsil to that crazy contract but it didn’t seem to have much impact on the Dawkins deal.

hmsmystic Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I wouldn't go to crazy on this-- O'Brien is a bad GM Bad GMs set the market price too high for non premium positions and then get fired (see- CJ Mosley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
