Breaking: Von Miller to bills, 6 year , 120 million

Reggie White signed with Green Bay at age 32, people wondered if he was slowing down due to age. He took a team with a young superstar QB to the next level, eventually winning a Super Bowl. White had 68.5 sacks in his 6 seasons with the Packers.

 

Von Miller is 32, situations seem awfully similar, just saying...

Reggie relied on power, Miller who is a speed/technique guy, so age may hurt Miller more.

 

I’ll be happily surprised if Miller can get more than 21 sacks in three seasons, which is way less production than Reggie.

Amazing, exactly what we need. Hopefully he has plenty left in the tank.

 

Need to keep him fresh and healthy for the playoffs most importantly so wouldn't be against bringing in one more DE on a min deal like Hughes or Shaq. 

 

Interested to see the dead money the last 3 years of the deal. We'll feel the pain then, but if we can land a SB it'll be worth it.

Crazy that LA gave up a 2nd & 3rd rd pick for 8 regular season games. 

They had to think he was going to sign a long term contract..

I know they got a ring but what a $h1t$how over there. They must be devastated 

And won a super bowl.  They don’t regret it one bit

Probably crying next to their Lombardi 

 

Although it is a big blow to them

Apparently they were convinced he'd re sign. Offering 17 mil per. 

Man I never knew what a beast he was in the run game.  He's really the total package.  Can groom Rousseau too, who i believe is the real deal

I’d take that wager on the over 21.

If anything Von got stronger as the season went on. He was a beast in the playoffs. This is a generational talent

Wtf. What does she have to do with anything. Terrible classless cheap shot. Many here disagree with me and I'm fine with that. But geeze your post is very tasteless.

Geeze I wasn't meaning to upset you, I just felt bad for the poor lady.  On account of the miserableness.

I think the opposite. His finesse style will add years. But there's no way to predict how the body will hold up as he ages.

Like many, I wonder about the back end of the 6 year deal.  I think Beane is too smart to get the Bills locked into a deal where they have lots of guaranteed money and cap dollars tied up in a player who has lost his effectiveness, but not knowing the details makes me nervous for the future.  Still, in 2022 the Bills are certainly going to be formidable.

78% of the snaps.  76% with the Ponies and 79% with the Lambs.

84% in 2019.

He'll be under 60 in Buffalo.   Why?  Because that's the way they do it.   And because they don't want to put miles on him needlessly.   Some fans probably will be disappointed during the first half of the season, but let's wait to see what he does late in the season and in the playoffs.

It seems everyone in the know is calling it “essentially” a 3yr/$53M deal.  
 

That leads me to believe the last 3 years aren’t much of anything to worry about
