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

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.

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.

 

If they were to make Milano the Mike they should trade Oliver...he's too small to take up blockers for Milano.

Hmm I’m not sure how this eliminates resigning Edmunds ? They are freeing up cap space for potential moves.
