loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Wow a Nice Surprise! We get a pass rusher I am starting to feel pretty good about this D. Also I am sure the last thing Beane wanted to see was Milano walk to Cleveland.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Bills were in on Watt I thought, no matter the outcome, Milano was gone and the d-line was the priority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Stepping into albacore happened the right way! i figured he was gone, and we'd draft a guy. at this point, it is very very clear our DL play has to improve as our back 7 is staying put. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Seems like the Bills paid what he is worth. Not an overpay but not a hometown discount in a deflated cap market either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 That's a hometown deal folks! No way the Bills get that deal done at $11 Mil average annual unless they are a winning Franchise. Big time props to McBeane... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) 7 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: interesting he did so many years. Not sure he gets that much this year with the reduced cap, but the back years I'm sure he could have gotten more. Perhaps he didn't want to risk it, and injury history. 4 years isn't that long as he could still get another pay day at 30.

njbuff Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 5 minutes ago, Mark Vader said: Come on, you know how! They can still restructure a few players contracts, and they have not made a decision on Mario Addison yet. Plenty of time to free up more cap before free agency starts. I think they cut Addison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Fantastic news! Very unexpected! I’ve championed him since his rookie year and am thrilled (albeit at the cost of Smoke Brown) to re-sign him! Beane is a wizard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This is FANTASTIC news!!! Milano has been one of Buffalo's most consistent players (when on the field... and yes, that's the issue) over the last few years and I think there was a case to be made that he was one of our best 2 defenders this past season. This move demonstrates that Beane and McDermott meant it when they said they wanted to keep their homegrown talent, which is precisely what Milano is. Love this move by the wizard Brandon Beane!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 24 minutes ago, davspo said: Spotrac projected a 13.8 mil average. I keep seeing this, I dont think Spotrac took into account the massive pandemic that just hit the NFL. You are going to see a lot of deals that are wow! mainly because teams have little cap space this year. most deals are going to be heavily backloaded so that cap hit is minimal this year and skyrockets in the final years. Banking on cap going up 10-15 per year the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David is a much better player David is also much better than Kwon Alexander, Anthony Barr, Myles Jack, Cj Mosley, Zack Cunningham, Shaq Thompson and Jaylon Smith......who are all getting paid more. How many QBs are getting paid less than Dak? How many of those QBs are better than Dak? Being better means nothing in free agency.
