Hopefully there is some kind of conduct relief in his contract if it turns out he committed this act.  

 

Miller seems like a well put together guy.  Id be surprised if he stooped to something like this, but passion and broads will get ya.

 

 

This Miller signing has been a huge albatross for this team and has been a huge factor in holding them back from the next step.

Not saying he is guilty and not saying this directly about Von, but it's a really solid reminder that the players you see in front of the camera talking in pressers and interacting with fans and so forth are often a result of presenting the right image. I would go as far to say there is a shockingly large percentage of players, coaches and even owners that are scumbag human beings when no one is looking.

If there’s a possibility of voiding the deal, I bet the Bills front office is jumping up and down and high fiving each other like they just made a great pick-up in the draft. 

That would only save Pegula money. The Bills are still on the hook for a mountain of dead cap.

Apparently, players cannot be cut during the bye week.

Probably cant be cut until the league has its information and weighs in.  

 

The league is probably as ticked off as the Bills are that a star player who has HOF credentials assaulted his pregnant gf.

 

We will see him next year when he is a starting lb for Andy Reid in KC.  These are Reid's favorite types of players.

Or Cincinnati.

I would even add the general populace to this as well.  Just think of maybe the things we all may say, do, think, etc. when nobody is around...not that it's evil/terrible stuff...but maybe stuff you wouldn't want to mention at a job interview or first date lol.

Probably the same percentages that exist in the rest of society, yup

If Von Miller violates the the terms of his contract, the Bills owe nothing 

I’m skeptical of this.  As a general rule of thumb for this team, whatever the worst-case scenario is as far as cap hit going forward, is what will play out.

Um….. I’m a believer that many of these guys would be in prison if they couldn’t run from the cops so fast.

I feel like situations like this involving high profile athletes often end in a settlement (public or under the table) and nothing actually happens. Or nothing ever happened. But I would have some doubts that this gets to a point where a voidable contract is even possible. 

 

And if any of it is true, this is disgusting. Anything involving women, especially a pregnant woman, is up there for as bad as it gets in my opinion.

Maybe saving that money will soften the blow and allow Pegula to more easily continue to pay McDermott after firing his a$$.

Nope, that what a contract is, break the terms and it is void. Not saying there wouldn't be a legal battle

If this ends up all being true, my first hope is Von retires from football.  That will be an out for some of the cap.

I doubt there is another stipulation in the contract that would give them a break but will have to see.

 

Von's initial contract wasn't that bad with an out after 3 years, but the restructures made it worse.

 

This should be a lesson to those who feel "restructuring" every large contract has no risk to it.  You can add Tre White's contract

to this too.  I know you have to use it at times but it's not a panacea.
