JESSEFEFFER Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 47 minutes ago, Pine Barrens Mafia said: it's not hate. It's just realizing he's donezo. Two serious leg injuries in three years. Even if he does come back, he's not going to have the speed necessary to start. Both were noncontact, connective tissue injuries which makes it even worse, imo. Contact injuries are often more of the bad luck variety when big men, moving fast and crashing into one another at bad angles applies Newtonian physics to the human body. It's the evidence of Doug Whaley's "humans were not meant to play football." Running full speed and quickly changing direction causing two injuries is a very bad sign for his career path where he needs to do that on every play. Much respect for trying to come back from that. Much surprise if he can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge contract, already coming off an ACL now a torn Achilles which is most of the time a career ender fo wr, ol, dl and cb. Sorry but he will never be what he was when he got the contract. Sentiment is for fans, the correct business decision to to reach an injury settlement and move on. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Not sure if posted but I did a quick "search" (I'm not wading through 60 pages of this) and the SI article on the matter is clear, short, and persuasive. I hope Pegula feels similarly. Of note: The chilling part of this allegation is that it echoes a previous one. In 2021, Miller’s girlfriend posted on Instagram that when she was pregnant with Miller’s child, Miller texted that he was “honestly praying for a miscarriage” and “[F---ing] disappear!!!” and “I hate you!” and “you gon’ get yours! Believe that.” ...At some point, an NFL player loses the benefit of the doubt with his team and the league.

All I heard was championship caliber teams make bold moves. Well here you go. It ought to be a cautionary tale that not every deal works out. But it won't be. Sure. I wanted a big move like the next Bills fan. I wasn't on board with a 30 something year old DE with a history of knee issues. There is a difference between bold moves and desperate moves. On 12/3/2023 at 10:51 AM, Augie said: They took a big swing, and it didn’t work out due to injury. He had 8.5 sacks before getting hurt. If he stays healthy and we win a Super Bowl it looks a lot different. But, he did get hurt, so we will never know. But we didn't win a super bowl and he did get hurt. How many people are surprised that he ended up getting hurt???? That's my point. On 12/3/2023 at 9:46 AM, Bobby Hooks said: Let’s not pretend that it wasn’t working at the time. We were top five in pass rush, when he got hurt, we went to mid-twenties. We all knew the risks involved. We just so happened to get the worst case scenario. Most believed where we were, and what we needed the risk was warranted. It’s tough, but we took a swing. I’d rather have a team with that mindset than what we had for the 20 year drought. This one just happened to backfire. Just because it worked for 3/4th's of a season does not mean it made sense to hand a 30 something year old EDGE rusher with a history of knee issues a 120 plus million contract. I'd rather us take a more calculated swing than a desperate one like this. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentiment is for fans, the correct business decision to to reach an injury settlement and move on. Exactly. It's not hate. It's just a no brainier business move. We're in terrible cap shape. His contract pays him as one of the top CB's in the NFL. And that contract has an out after this season. Even before the Achilles injury, it's something we'd have to consider depending on how well he performed throughout the season. Now it's just something that has to be done. We can't continue to pay him as a Top CB out of love and sympathy. That's not how the league works. It's a sad situation. But simple business logic doesn't denote "hate". I loved what Tre brought to the team, who he is, and his abilities before his injury. But we have to get out from under that contract.

But, when you date low quality women because they are hot, you get low quality women games played on you... Would explain his reaction in terms of feeling set up or betrayed by her for his money.

Beck Water Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 8 hours ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: He won’t be released until the NFL decides if they are going to suspend him. All reports they are dragging their feet on the Von situation. Historically, the NFL does not take action to impose suspensions or other discipline for alleged crimes until the criminal case is resolved (one way or another) and the NFL (in the case of DV) completes its own investigation. There will be no suspension until at earliest, next fall. You can color me much surprised if any suspension is even announced until far too late into the new league year next spring to do the Bills a bit of good with their cap situation (which, would only be about $8M for the standard suspension). So I guess if you want to consider "normal course of actions" as "dragging their feet", then they're dragging their feet. The Bills are not going to release Von. Releasing Miller this season would cost the Bills something like $32M in additional cap they simply don't have on the books. The only thing that might happen this season is the league placing Miller on Commissioners Exempt list, in which case the Bills play him to sit around in sweats.

CSBill Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Added to the off-field issues, Von needs to sit. His production has been nothing this season; he is not his old self physically.
