JimBob2232 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Solid move. Won't be too old at the end. Cap space now. Nothing not to like here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 26 minutes ago, HappyDays said: It should probably be brought up more that the Pegulas are the main reason the Bills went from laughingstock to contender. Moves like this can only happen because they give Beane essentially a blank check to use up front cash to push cap spending into the future. For this reason we will never be in serious cap trouble until the day Josh Allen retires at which point we'll take a couple years getting things under control and then be right back in it. Having cash-rich owners is a cheat code. THIS! Having been through the Ralph years this is the crucial difference, along with a quality coach/gm of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJ Dingo Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Pretty sure this locks up his status as a defensive captain with the likelihood of Edmunds and Poyer departing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Imo this absolute proof that Edmunds is gonna be a f/a. Milano has been way more consistent in his career.

Mango Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 47 minutes ago, SCBills said: Im inclined to believe this makes it less likely Edmunds comes back. The rationale for a big Edmunds contract was to backload it, so it hits heavy when Milano comes off the books.. as to not have so much tied up year to year at LB. Now, with Milano locked up long term, we’d just be locking in two high paid LB’s long term. Not sure that’s a luxury a team paying a QB 40M+ can afford. I think you’re right. But my gut tells me that Beane is trying to go all in again this year and will borrow whatever he can from future years to do it. Anything could happen.

HappyDays Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 This is an intriguing idea. I hadn't considered Milano as a MLB. If other changes are made to compensate for his size, I could see this working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Says Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 With restructures/ extensions possible for Allen, Miller, Dawkins, Miller, Morse,White, maybe even Hyde,and others...Bills can accomplish something in free agency..

The Bills will be all in every year from now until the end of Allen's career. As they should be. The common thinking that teams occasionally need to have 1-2 year rebuild periods was killed when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl this year. All in teams can still make radical changes to their roster and scheme on a year to year basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in teams can still make radical changes to their roster and scheme on a year to year basis. I think the chiefs are an example of the opposite. They shed contracts and relied heavily on rookie draft picks starting all over the field on both sides of the ball. When you have Mahomes, Allen, etc. you always have a chance. And the expectation is that you can always have a chance to win one. But the fact that they won this year should be a huge concern for the league. They’re going to be a better team in 23 than they were in 22. Better teams don’t always win the SB, but the Chiefs are pretty cush going forward. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that’s what you mean since we already know he’s a free agent. If the Bills re-signed Edmunds, the belief by some was the contract would be structured in a way where Edmunds cap hits would be bigger starting in year 3 when Milano was a free agent and off the books. Now with the extension of Milano, the belief is Edmunds is leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the possibility still that Edmunds is back, and I'd love to keep the band together, but just seems.to me Edmunds isn't a priority if they're extending the other linebacker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said Andy has an eye for talent guys like Isiah Pachecko who fit perfectly in his system and let’s face it would probably have been cut on some teams he just has knack for finding these gems.

Nextmanup Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 There should be a lot more of this sort of thing before Wednesday. Still have a long way to go to get cap compliant, but Beane will get there no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
