1ManRaid Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 This sounds like when the Bills were "interested in" or "tried to sign/trade for" every big name, when really it was more like "hey would you happen to be willing to play for league minimum" or "hey would you take a 7th for CMC and eat his salary". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 What's surprising is that Miller was saying he never wanted to leave the Rams, but that the Bills situation and the Bills offer were too good to pass up. He made it sound like the only team that could get him away from the LAR was the Bills. Whatever. None of this matters. He's been a great player over the years and I think he's still got a lot left in the tank to help the Bills win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I think it was pretty clear from his own video that we overpaid to get him. His agent said something like Bills offered more than they even expected. Nothing wrong with that since we are talking about Von Miller. He just needs to produce next three years and help us win a Lombardi. And it's really not a surprise that other teams were interested and that he talked to other teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't necessarily mean anything beyond that. It's hard to say how meaningful Miller's interest in the Cowboys was. If Miller reached out to the Cowboys as DeMarcus Ware states, that tells me that winning a championship was not his first criteria. As mentioned, Miller grew up in suburban Dallas and played college at Texas A&M, less than an hour from his hometown of DeSoto. The question is "Would Miller have preferred to sign with his hometown team if they offered the same money as the Bills?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't refute that statement, but the bottom line is, ANY team besides the Rams would have had to do the sams, that's just the nature of the business nowadays. And while yes it's about the money to a healthy degree, I genuinely believe everything Von said regarding wanting to come to Buffalo, wanting to play for another contender, and with Josh Allen. I was particularly moved by the conversation he had with his dad, and how his dad felt like Buffalo just made all the sense in the world. I personally admired the way Miller handled the whole process..and he hasn't even played a down yet and he's already having a substantial impact to this team. Not to get too far off topic, but remember the days when players only used Buffalo as a negotiating standpoint? KNOWING we would have to throw the bank at top level talent to even get them to entertain the idea of coming? Only to wait til we threw the Brinks truck at em and then get a better offer elsewhere? Long gone are those days...and I LOVE hearing so many players now say how much they want to come here, to a winner, to a top notch organization, with a culture of winning, success, family...we ARE the destination now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have to be honest, it still seems like a mirage than Von Miller is on the Bills. Even opening day is going to be odd for me seeing him in a Bills uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a hot take for some nfl fans but I can't stand how overly hyped Dak is when I've seen him have nothing but elite o line, rbs, and wr1s but never take over a game with his skills or lead his team with his arm talent over quality opponents. But yet he's always talked up as a top 10 qb that is always a superbowl contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a native WNYer who hates heat and doesn't love "the South," I actually really enjoyed my two years in Uptown Dallas when I was 30-32. Met some awesome people from all over, experienced significant snow/cold (for Texas, of course, but a snowman on a neighbor's patio survived for like 3-4 weeks) one winter, followed by over 30 consecutive days over 100 degrees the next summer. Lots of opportunity there, even during the great recession of 2008-2010. Very metropolitan without being too congested or overpriced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The Cowboys aren't bad, he probably just wants to win. I don't think he would have ended up on a Jacksonville/Texans type roster for any amount of money. If anything this means that an 11 year All Pro Vet that wants another ring views Buffalo as being as good of a destination as Dallas right now. Don't believe that was the case 10 years ago.
