Someone I trust with news sent it to me. I didn’t verify it before posting but said twice “if it’s accurate”. I should have verified. 

OK, I read it and thought it is complete BS because it makes zero sense.

It's a meme going around Facebook. 

 

You guys follow Facebook news often? There are a few scammer sites that rehash year or 2-year-old stories as if they're new. 

 

My bet is this is a quote from a year ago when he did redo his contract. But my main guess is it's just something made up.

While true, that won’t stop Beane from giving him a contract 

Someone faster would have brought it to the house.

Beane has an endless stack of 1 year contracts for guys about to exit the NFL

This is what annoys me whenever someone says "What a horrible signing by Beane" in regards to Miller.

 

Miller had 8 sacks in the 11 games he played with the Bills prior to that freak injury....Beane can't predict the future when signing a player.....Miller was playing at a high level before he was signed, and was playing at a high level in the 11 games before the injury.....how is this the fault of Beane??

 

The injuries to Tre White and Von Miller in that Thanksgiving Lions game sunk the Bills D in '22, and the D is still trying to recover back to the level it was playing before those two injuries, IMO.

I didn’t say it was Beane’s fault that Von got hurt.  (And Tre White was injured the year before on Thanksgiving 2021 in NO)

 

But after his injury he had nothing left.  
 

i don’t like the contract Beane gave an aging player.  It was a major overpay.  And it came back to bite us.

 

But Von is gone.  And let’s hope the 3 D lineman we drafted set our D line up for success for years to come.

I guess my mind melded those two Thanksgiving game injuries together!!

 

I think Beane believed signing Miller was a "put us over the top" move after the 13 seconds game. It may have been a bit risky due to his age, but Miller producing 8 sacks in 11 games before the injury was showing the move was worth the risk......would've loved to see what a healthy Von Miller could've done in the '22 Playoffs and beyond.....

 

I'm with you in hoping this young D-line the Bills have put together can become a dominant force in the years to come! 👍

Yeah, I've blocked numerous "bills news" pages on Facebook for that reason.

No surprise here

 

 

According to FB Von is coming back and he told Beane that he wanted to play 1 more season with the Bills and to just fill in what ever price on the bottom of the contract and he'd sign it, this is according to FB ... Oh and it was breaking news too !!!

It’s also similar to something I overheard him say at an offseason event in Dallas last year.  
 

But that’s cool. Here’s a trophy 🏆
