You don’t think anyone should ever be sold on a rookie? That’s strange. Being sold on a player doesn’t mean that said player will 💯 be a star, it just means that you loved what you saw and are confidant that they’ll be good players. Sold as in sure about he's going to continue being good/bad/same? No, I'm trying to think if I've ever been that sure. I think that's pretty normal. /shrug EDIT I thought of a very recent one. Jamarr Chase. I'm sold on him no question Edited March 19, 2022 by Tom Donahoe, GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 What are the chances he sees the $30 mil in year 6 in 2027? Pretty slim…assume this was just included to get the deal over $100m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one laid so much as a glove on Josh for the last month of the season…oh, and the running was good too. While it’s true Allen’s supreme athleticism often makes up for the lines poor play, it’s also true the line played much better down the stretch. Preston Brown a 3rd round pick, coming off a year of no football is inserted into the starting lineup mid season and more than held his own. Brown’s ceiling is sky high and I’m looking forward to watching him improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's quite possible he's playing at a high level, but being willing to pay him is a different question. Still, if he has 12 sacks in his fifth year, do you let him go? Twelve sacks dont come cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) I like the swing for the fences. That said I'm very cautious in my expectations for a 33, 34 and 35 year old Von Miller. There have been a couple guys, literally a couple, that have produced 9+ sacks per year averages at those ages since 2000. Jon Abraham and Cameron Wake totaled 31 and 29 sacks respectively in their 33rd, 34th and 35th years. What is the general consensus on the sack total's people expect Miller to put up over the next three years? The bar is pretty low currently. We haven't had a player total a 10+ sack season since 33 year old Lorenzo Alexander had his career year in 2016. Overall McDermott's Bills defenses don't seem to get a lot of sacks. I guess if Miller could average just around 8 sacks a year for the next three years that would be fantastic production for both this defense and a player of Miller's age. But are people expecting an average of 10+ sacks a year the next three years? I also like the addition of Phillips and Lawson on the roster again. The Bills defense totaled the most team sacks of the McDermott era with those two on the roster back in 2019. Stathead: Sack leaders ages 33 through 35.
