How bad does this ***** their cap for the next couple years?

 

Worst case scenario - he retires and we work out an injury settlement.  Won't hurt us a ton. 

 

As long as he comes back, we're basically without a 20M pass rusher for (potentially) 80-90% of the regular season next year.

Pretty darn bad, but maybe we can restructure it to mitigate the damage 

 

Von Miller's contract by year:

            Active        Dead Cap

2023   18.7            40.2

2024   22.2            22.8

2025   21.2             7.4

Oh please. As if that should even be part of the conversation.

4M for a good pass rusher is a bargain.  Ask Justin Houston and Melvin Ingram. The “over the hill” pass rushers that nobody wants are all doing what they’ve always done.  Pressuring the QB.

I said it COULD BE a career ender.

Sorry, man, you're right.  I'm just freaking out a bit at the moment.  LOL.  Point remains, though, on the injury settlement.  The Bills can't make him sign anything.  Injury settlements are usually done as a courtesy to players down the roster food chain to hook them up with a bit of cash on their way out instead of flat out cutting them while also allowing the team to save some cap scratch.

Even if they did there is no guarantee Hughes would make it to Buffalo.  He would have to go through waivers. The Rams could claim him for instance.  Any team could.

Just saw that vested veterans have to go through waivers after the trade deadline, so yeah, he wouldn’t make it to us. NFL probably has that in place to prevent collusion.

Im not talking about competition.  Some other team having more injuries doenst make all our injuries any less bad.

Thats fine but your comment was taken as the worst out of all teams especially when you doubled down. If you just meant a generic "we have the worst luck" then I get it, no big deal.

No way he retires when he could get paid $20M to rehab and have access to the bills facilities.

 

What was the deal with Eric Wood again? I just remember that awkward press conference where he retired but couldn't say it because of injury/contract concerns.
