Recommended Posts

Good news👍
 

looks like the odds/percentage of him being re-signed were a bit higher than was thought to be... 😁

ah, life on the Bills forum...,

Only 7mil cap hit the first year.  Love it.  I think they can bring back Mongo and Williams.  Probably can’t get anyone else and I’m fine with that 

To not land one of the DE’s would be pretty disappointing in my opinion 

 

you are basically repeating last year, it was good but to take the next step the DL needs help rushing the passer 

 

want to stop mahomes, get him on the move and hit often... bucs blueprint is right there

Defensive line has a huge impact.

 

If you get no pressure with a zone defence, you can have Brian urlacher and Patrick Willis as your linebackers and it wouldn’t matter much.

 

Especially against rivers and Mahomes 

Exactly why I’m advocating to use the money on the DL, specifically for  guys like Lawson or Yannick 

 

put them with jerry and Oliver... I think we could see a dominant DL getting after qb’s

If you can get Williams at let’s say 10M a year, you are now good at the tackles spot which we just previously agreed was important 


now if there is anything left which there should be you can put that towards one of the pass rushers (quite a list) surely we can get one 

 

then in the draft you can find the replacement for Milano, it is much easier to find a linebacker to fill his role than impact pass rushers and proven tackles 

 

josh Allen is the franchise, asking a rookie RT and Cody Ford at RG doesn’t give me thrills if you know what I mean but hey Milano is back so it is what it is 

Well we just got Milano at about ~$10M per year. So why can’t we use what’s left over to get a pass rusher from that extensive list and sign them and draft a lineman in a pretty well regarded OL draft class? 
 

Seeing that I said LT was more valuable than LB... I’m not paying Williams about what we’re paying Dawkins... and obviously it’s not super easy to replace Milano because we were 3-3 without him and 10-0 with him this season... if they felt he was easily replaceable they would’ve replaced him...

Yes!!!

 

Im pretty confident that Feliciano is a goner.

As much was said about Milano, but here we are...

I am pleased. Our defense is never the same without Milano. He has been one of my favorite defenders the past few years.

 

Let's hope he can stay healthy and go out there and produce.

 

Seriously cool he took a smaller contract to stay here.

Fair enough. I’m not disagreeing with you too much. I like the signing, but yes I would be disappointed if that means they can’t get a DE or Williams back.

nice man, leave out the playoff game? Come on... the entire point of this off-season is to close the gap with the chiefs 

 

you could still get one of the pass rushers but I’m sorry I don’t love the idea of starting a rookie tackle to protect our franchise... I would much rather pay Williams and a proven pass rusher and take my chances finding the next linebacker in the draft than trying to find a future RT to protect our franchise

My crusade is pay pass rushers and OL, Milano isn’t closing the gap with the chiefs. We saw them in the playoffs, 2 out of 3 games the defense was shredded 

 

Pay elite pass rushers or corners, coverage linebackers at 11M a year not unless your last name is David 

 

In McDermott's defense in particular, a player like Milano is hugely critical.  And Milano's deal is a bargain for Buffalo.  If this were a $13 or $14 million dollar deal, maybe you'd have a bit of an argument.  The problem for you is that this is a good deal for a very good player.

 

And while you're obsessed with stats, I prefer wins.  This is similar to the argument in terms of complaints with Star Lotulelei.  His impact on the game is not showing up on the stat sheet and I think this year everyone came to appreciate what he brought to the team as a player in 2019 because we saw how the team was without him.

 

Again.... the team lost more games and gave up significantly more points and yards without Milano in the lineup.  He matters a lot to this defense and resigning him at this price especially is a huge win for the Bills organization and Bills fans.  If you aren't one of the latter, go back to your Patriots message board.

 Agreed... don’t get me wrong Milano is a good player and has value but in this cap year I’m doing everything I can to keep Williams (within reason) and get a proven edge rusher 

 

linebacker is a luxury not a necessity and I think can be replaced in the draft much easier than a great RT or proven pass rusher

who mentioned stats... I haven’t mentioned stats one time as my benchmark.

 

I believe keeping Allen save is priority one and Williams did that so pay him 

 

I believe the next step to catch the chiefs is to put pressure on mahomes, enter the pass rusher 

 

Milano’s position is valuable but I’m not convinced you can’t find a player like him in the draft much easier than an all pro RT or proven pass rusher
