Mat68 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 44 mil seemed like a decent deal for both sides. Am I wrong or is his cap hit in 21 5 mil? If so Buf still has workable room left. Imo any updrade on the dline comes at the expense of Addison. He is good enough to stay but an upgrade makes him expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Good deal. Middle ground to where I thought it would be. Beane and McDermott talked from day 1 about developing and signing their own and and they are keeping that promise. I love what we are building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really admitting that Beane knows more about it than I do. Brandon has information I do not. He also knows other moves he is making with the roster. I also know somethings about football but I am willing to admit I don’t spend nearly the time or have the resources a NFL GM does. That is why I trust Beane. He has shown he can put together a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGun12TD Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Shocked at how many people on here are shocked. Have you all been following the Magic Beane? No? Well, you better start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Seems like a lot of money. Other than our secondary I'm not really convinced we have a single player in our front seven that can't be replaced with a cheaper option with near identical results. Hope I am wrong. Milano did play at that level during stretches though. But then of course you have the injury history with him as well. Definitely a gamble. Hopefully we can find or develop a pass rush still.

Probably can’t get anyone else and I’m fine with that I would think Williams would have been signed first if he was willing to sign before free agency.

Doc Brown Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Bills gave up almost 30 points in the six games he missed. Only about 20 in the ten games he played. There were other factors at play but that's an eye popping stat. This defense is so reliant on their LB's that he was a "must sign" in my mind. I'm pleasantly surprised he took this deal as it's likely some team wildly overpaying for him in the open market. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I was bummed to lose Touchdown Mike, but the dig at the Bills was a little extra. As long as Milano stays healthy, that trade will be considered pretty damn good for the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm way more sold on Milano than Edmunds and that's one reason why. This gives me a lot more confidence that the Bills could cut bait with Edmunds without us having a huge hole at LB as a result. We'll pry have two years to evaluate him. BTW....PFF was pretty darn close with their free agency prediction with Milano. 38. LB MATT MILANO Milano has developed into a modern-day linebacker. He has the 11th-best coverage grade among linebackers since 2018, he’s been excellent matching up with running backs in single coverage and he’s held his own when asked to line up over the slot. Milano’s tackling has been an issue, as he missed 36 over 2018 and 2019, and that adds up to a below-average run defender since entering the league. However, the coverage value makes Milano an intriguing option given the importance of being able to match up with opposing offensive weapons. Contract Analysis: Milano showed he can be one of the better coverage linebackers in the NFL in 2018 and 2019, and his skill set fits well alongside 2018 first-round LB Tremaine Edmunds — a rangier, sideline-to-sideline linebacker with pass-rush ability. Injuries have limited Milano in 2020 so far, but his absence has also perhaps exposed a leaky Bills defense when he’s not available. Prediction: Four years, $45 million ($11.25M APY): $20M total guaranteed, $15M fully guaranteed at signing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 2 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: i don’t think they are planning on saving money this year by him not making it to 12 games. He’s no more likely to miss that many games this year than any of the remaining 3 years after this That was not my contention, and I have no idea where this comes from. I'm sure the Bills expect and want Milano to start 16 games. However, if any provision of his contract incentives are labeled by the NFL "unlikely to be met", that portion will count against the 2022 cap even if he meets them in 2021 See Morse, Mitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re using fancy math and formulas to make their predictions... not all that different than NFL teams do (albeit with their own individual tweaks) folks around here better get used to them fancy models and mathematics...

I wouldn't say must because I think we're at a point we are confident in getting to 30 points a game and wanted that money on the D line. But....Milano is important just his presence he is the only guy on that D that truly makes everyone around him better. I feel like he's important against the run more so then the pass but it's close. Great QB'S and TEs will do well but maybe the Chiefs game was total failure in game plan. I swear these 2 better not be interviewing in January. He'd have been tough to replace. Now the biggest thing is staying on the field. That's always been my only issue with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
