Yes, the most important criteria in evaluating whether to keep players is if they "want" to stay.

John from Riverside Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I for one am glad that he staying this is talent that we drafted and we grew now some other team isn’t going to take advantage of that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills LB'S were a worse in the NFL at covering TE'S Not according to this thread... seems like I’m crazy but I’m honestly shocked some have the stance they do seems obvious to me that protecting Allen should be priority one and improving the pass rush should be number 2 but I guess some would rather gambles Allen’s health and the offense and keep Milano 4 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Pipe down and chug your process juice Love the process.... but maybe not this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have NOT been consistent. Your #1 priority is protecting the franchise... fine... but then you tell me the whole off-season is about catching the Chiefs and how bad our defense was... newsflash protecting our QB with a $10M contract for a RT isn’t fixing our defense... and it’s going to have the same effect on signing a pass rusher while also creating another hole on defense... We’re also not releasing our RT... he’s a free agent... there’s a difference. Edited March 11, 2021 by JGMcD2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you need to get rid of everyone on the team and replace them with other people who may or may not be as good! Let's wait for things to play out. As for the Chiefs currently they are down their tackles and starting center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure I will go with GM of the year✌️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Niagara Dude said: Trust me on this one, too much and we could have upgraded the position with a couple million more. Milano would have not received an offer close to this on open market with the flood of players being released and low cap number of 183mll. I will be right again, just like when i said we should have drafted Metcalf or signing Murphy would be a total bust or our defense was not good enough to make to to the SUPER BOWL. End of the day we still don't have anyone to cover Kelce or other TE'S in this league which we were worse in the NFL at doing, paying Milano more is not changing the result of that. Right now we have one big play maker on defense and that is White, we needed to add at least one of two this offseason and that does not look like it will happen. 13-3 regular season record, division champs, One game from the super bowl, and some fans think Beane doesn’t know what he is doing, pretty amazing don’t you think... Go Bills!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Awesome, awesome news! Draft well, develop, and reward your own. Milano is an excellent scheme fit and I would’ve hated seeing him shake his injury bug and become a stud elsewhere. He changes this defense when he’s healthy and running sideline to sideline. I expect them to grab at least two young pass rushers in the draft this year (if they don’t sign a pass rusher in FA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 How does this effect a Josh Allen extension? Tying up salary cap to resign an LB, when we also ought to extend the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Man. I went out for a couple hours and came back to this awesome news, not to mention a 17-page thread discussing it! I probably can't say much that hasn't already been said, but... I, too, figured he was a goner. The fact that he likely took less money to stay in Buffalo because he likes the culture and because he recognizes that the Bills are knocking on the doorstep of the Super Bowl is absolutely amazing. For all those who still say culture is overblown -- and I saw a few on this forum just today saying it -- here's another piece of evidence that you're wrong. Build a good program, build a consistent and successful program, and watch players take less money to be a part of it. Culture is real. So glad Milano is back. One less hole to fill this offseason. Go Beane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennstate10 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Rock-A-Bye Beasley said: Pleasant surprise. $11 mil is a big chunk of cap but we have some contracts expiring after this year. Now we don’t need to use a high draft pick on lb. I don’t believe his cap number has been announced, but it won’t be $11 million. They will give a bonus of $10-15 milliiin and back loads salaries. I’d guess his cap number for next year will come in at about $7 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was a known but I’ll make sure I clearly articulate this To do this we need to keep the franchise healthy and rolling so why we wouldn’t prioritize keeping the RT who kept Allen upright seems weird to me, if his price has gone way up then okay I can be convinced we had to let him go but I don’t like the notion that we will just draft one and that it will all just be okay 2. Our defense struggled to get to the passer last year consistently, this defense got shredded in 2 of the 3 playoff games with Milano in the lineup so I’m not convinced at all resigning him for 11M properly addresses the defense and helps us achieve any of the goals I just mentioned with a down cap year IF milano’s contract prevents us from getting Williams or an elite pass rusher I think it was a bad decision is that not crystal clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they went after Watt aggressively, I think it's pretty clear they want to upgrade. It will be interesting to see what they do with Addison? Keep around until they have someone, or jettison him first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
