dancing_joker Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Anyone else find it extremely odd that Von Miller went to the combine to learn how to evaluate players to become a GM? The guy has 2 more guaranteed years in his contract…and he’s already focusing on his post-football career? The bills are probably not thrilled either, considering the article makes no mention of him being with and working with the team’s front office staff.

Beast Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 No, not at all. You keep your veteran stars happy. If this makes Von happy, good. Let him sit in the war room come April as well. 9 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltonWaddams Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Nope. Not odd. I’m supportive of players considering their future in the off-season and I imagine that the Bills are too. More jealous than worried. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather this than streaming on Twitch until Thanksgiving when he’s ready to return. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I think it’s cool that he’s interested in all aspects of the game. He also seems to have a really active mind, so I can see how he would be interested in taking a peek under the hood of an NFL franchise. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the offseason, mind you, when the CBA prevents players from doing anything football related with their teams (even if they aren’t injured, which Von is.) I swear this place really is going way downhill. 1 2 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending time at the combine and trying to learn about the process from an executive’s POV doesn’t mean he isn’t also focused on getting ready for next season. If that’s the case then you better get worried about Josh playing a lot of golf in the off-season. He’s probably not focused on next season either.

babulator Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Von has already mentioned his aspiration to become a GM some day. I don't see any issue with this, he's still recovering, if this keeps him engaged with football and the team great. This is all a part of culture building. The opposite would be to rebuff his approach and see what that does for his feelings about the team and the staff. It's a no brainer.

TheFunPolice Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 People are capable of having more than one goal or more than one project going at a time, especially short and longer term. It's what successful people do. If that is foreign to you, then it's time to rethink your own approach. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Might Rather Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 https://atozsports.com/buffalo/bills-von-miller-gears-up-for-potential-gm-role-news I'd say the Bills are on board...
