I hope Miller goes off but I think that is a very fair number to set the over/under at.

Yeah I think that's fair. Also think he won't be playing the same % of snaps he has the last few years. Should be selective in how we use him to hopefully get the most bang for our buck when it matters most. 

 

Eg. Regular season games vs the Jets there's really no reason for him to play >50% of the snaps. 

 

This is the situation where the DL rotation works most advantageous.

Yeah, I looked at his snap % and it hasn’t really dropped over his career, consistently 75-85%.

I just said earlier today, if we had Bruce Smith this is the best team in the league.

 

Von ain’t Bruce, but he’s close.

 

Well done Beane.

Best FA signing since Mario.  Anyone know how he’s done against Mahomes?  I’m sure he has a healthy dislike for Chiefs.  Go Bills!!

Ugh.  I hate Thursday night games.

 

But the first game of the year isn't too bad, as there is no short week, and you get a long week after it.

 

But yes, as a rule I like all games at 1PM Eastern IF they were all just randomly handed out. But since better teams get primetime games, I guess I'll happily get used to it.

I do too but in this case consider… we have to play on Thursday at some point in the season, might as well do it week 1 when not on a short week. Plus, the cross country travel. Get that out of the way week 1 with 10 days to get back and ready for week 2. Then you have the potential SB hangover week 1 for the lambs.

It especially sucks for me because I’m hoping to go to that game and it’s tougher for me to get off on Sept than the rest of the season.

I’m worried about Von Miller and how he’ll fit into our d-line rotation. Historically he plays too many snaps. I have listed his snap percentage by year. Not sure how he will accept being only allowed to play 48% of snaps per game.

90%
84%
84%
76%
81%
86%
78%
84%
76%
79%

We got the worst 13 seconds in FB history, and applied Newton's 3rd law.  For every failure to stop the Chiefs, there is a Von Miller to make those stops. Given all the crazy QBs in the AFC, this is amazing.

 

How do you fund a stadium? Sign a superstar on the D to go with Josh Allen.  Oh, and get him OJ, not that OJ.

 

What a wild, amazing, day.

 

Go Bills!

I like to believe the Bills rotated their ends so heavily in the past because they didn’t have a stud, but a collection of average players. I think Miller will be in the high 60% of snap counts.

This reminds me of acquiring Biscuit back in the day, sort of.

 

 

 

 

That's good.   When they got Bennett, I remember thinking, "What??!!!  THIS team got BENNETT, too?"

 

It really is hard to get my head around this.

Hope he's got enough left in the tank to get us past KC.  

What ya need to think on...is that the entire Bills fans focus was on Chandler Jones, Arizona.

 

He went the Raiders for around the same money as Von...the Bills fans crying began! 

 

Then, A Beane miracle!  Von, who at 32, is only one month older than Jones. Chandler got 10 sacks in 2021 and 5 came in one game.

 

Von Miller was a hero in this past super bowl. Jones...not so much!

He is going to get way more than 48%.

 

McD abandoned the rotation in Carolina when they had the talent to justify it.

 

I'd guess Miller will get over 65% of the snaps. Which is perfect as he gets older.

They'll rotate him during the season to keep him fresh for the playoffs, then he'll see a big jump in his snaps, I'll bet.

 

And I guarantee you he is excited about that. It will prolong his career.

Think about the fact that Von Miller chose a payday in Buffalo rather stay in his comfortable socal location. So much for not being willing to leave the familiar nest.....haha bah humbug on you  mcskizzix whatever your name is  LOL  have your best life the Bills are Moving forward without you no crocodile tears here.  I would say today was a Very auspicious day in Bill fandom. major...HUGE

 

Buckle up copadres. GO BILLS!~!~

If you say so.  I grew accustomed to him creating huge running lanes for QBs to run through after over-pursuit of them, and grew tired of that. I'm almost certain  that the over-pursuing of QBs added to those pressures in spite of the negative results.

 

He also flushed them directly into sacks by other players numerous times as well

Not trying to pick fights -- can someone explain to me why this isn't a bad deal? I don't really understand contracts/the salary cap in the NFL. From an outside perspective this seems like a huge commitment to a declining (but still good) vet.

 

NFL contracts arent guaranteed. Most of the time when players sign big, long term deals like this, they never see the entire thing.

 

As details come out, we find that this contract has $32M guaranteed at signing, and a total $52M guaranteed (of the so called  "$120M").

 

So if we break it down, it turns out we can get out of the contract after 3 or 4 years. It's essentially a 3 year/$52M contract, or 4 year/$70M contract. $17M/yr for a premier pass rusher is about right.

Yeah.  I think Johnson and Hardy got over 80% of the snaps if I remember trying to research whether a trade for Danielle Hunter would be justified.  LOL.

I think it means he’ll be a bill for 3 years.  Who knows if he retires or not

He's ultimately under our control.  I mean there is the option of cap casualty and he tries to hero with some other team, but I think this is likely his last SB team.

My question, why are voidable years a bargaining chip now? I understand the logic for players on your team you are trying to restructure, but why not just make the contract a 4 year 80 million or something? I really don't understand the logic

We made the Raiders look like complete fools. 

 

They don't need anyone's help with that...they do just fine on their own.

Let me simplify the math for you. There is a 0% chance that you need to worry about this.

For those old enough to remember, Buddy Nix settled on Dareus after missing out on the player he really wanted, Von Miller.

 

I wanted Miller so bad in that draft!   Better late than never!!! :thumbsup:
