I If he is not worthy of being suspended or cut or put on IR, he's playing (or at least dressing and then being named inactive) as far as I'm concerned. I don't waste food and I I won't tolerate throwing away money. We don't have that luxury. It's bad enough we lost Araiza and the draft pick. Anyone on a practice squad would be more effective than him. That would be like starting Elam over Benford because he was drafted in the 1st round. His contract is a sunk cost and should have no barring on playing time Edited December 2, 2023 by uticaclub 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 4 hours ago, MasterStrategist said: Perhaps been said already, but guessing that Von/Diggs commercial just got retired. Horribel situation, I feel bad for G/F (victim), if true...admittedly I might have missed recent info. Team might catch a break with Vons contract. If this was Josh (and it never would be), he'd be getting the "Big Ben" / rehab image treatment. So let's not fool ourselves about any moral high ground of team (guessing majority of fans as well). Just as well. Those outfits were ugly anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s this thing called commissioner’s exempt list, where Goodell says it’s too controversial to have this guy dressed and out there but we really have no cause to suspend him (yet). Then that’s exactly what happens-he gets paid to sit home 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just don't want a Deshaun Watson situation, where he is not on the Exempt List, but he is told to stay home and still get paid. Either put him on the Exempt List, or don't. But if you don't, Von Miller plays. We cannot afford to voluntarily pay him to sit; we're not rich like Dallas. The NFL must force our hand.

Chargers were actually filed against Miller. While Watson was being sued, he had no criminal charges pending. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting Miller or losing him for the rest of the season is immaterial in my mind. He is terrible and doesn't warrant getting a roster spot on game days. My interest in this story begins and ends with, AND IF, we have the ability to terminate his K and get out of salary cap hell with what is a disastrously bad deal. That's the prize here. The remainder of the year is neither here or there. 3 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga boy Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 It’s going to be awkward for him to return to the locker room. Another distraction. I would guess that the level of respect he held has eroded. Best that he stays away the rest of the year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Anyone else notice that the magic seemed to be gone once Von Miller got here? Last year seemed off and this year is weird. I miss 2019-2021 when we were explosive on offense and were a turnover machine on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is worthy of being cut, but the backlash from the national media would be beyond embarrassing. Imagine how much flack beane would get if he cut a player only a couple years after signing a $100 million dollar contract. Not to mention cutting him would cost more than keeping him on the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss 2019-2021 when we were explosive on offense and were a turnover machine on defense Von was instrumental in beating the Chiefs on the road in 2022 forcing the game winning int. He made a strip sack in the third v the pesky Jets on the road in ‘22 that should have won the game. Only the team didn’t win. He made a game winning sack v the Vikings in ‘22 putting them in fourth and forever. Then Cam completed the catch for JJ. Was third in the NFL in pressure rate at the time of the injury. The NFLPA wants to ban the turf he got injured on because it causes so many injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Assuming the Bills release him, in order for some of Von's contract to be voided out, does there have to be an official suspension from the league, or how does that work? And what are the salary cap implications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie54 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I would think that his contract has a clause in it which allows the Bills to walk away and limit their cap exposure significantly. If not, that’s on the Bills FO. You don’t sign a guy with a checkered history to a deal that big without protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
