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

I confess I don't know anything, but I am worried that investing heavily in a player so far along in years could backfire. He could get injured or his play could decline drastically. 

 

The Bills have pushed themselves up against the cap with aging players like Miller and Saffold.

Miller has been both durable and consistent in his play. These are his career grades from PFF (I know, I know) and, by their metrics, he has ranked in the top 4 of edge rushers in every year except 2019 (ranked 22nd) when he got injured. His injury required ankle surgery and he sat out 2020. Then came back in 2021 and finished 3rd among edge defenders.

He's also played between 75% - 85% (or more) of snaps every year of his career. I would imagine he is going to be somewhere between 65% - 70% in the regular season here and then 75% or better in the playoffs. 

 

I just don't see him declining anytime soon.

Im not gonna lie, i love the signing, however, the guy is 33.....do we really think that were gonna get 6 more years outta him?

I know that getting an elite pass rusher is gonna cost some serious cash, but the whole thing just kinda reeks of desperate IMO.

3 years you mean... his contract is only for 3 years, the 6 years is for the cap stretch.

 

The only thing that reeks is your understanding of his contract.
