Mr. WEO

He's orders of magnitude better than Bradford was...

Cant say that for Diggs…

Dont have to cover Knox….

Except he's not suddenly or always double covered. He simply disappears in elimination games. Look at his playoff losses: 2015 (vs Seattle): 4 catches for 26 yards 2017 (Philly): 8 for 70 2019 (SFO): 2 for 57 2020 (KC): 6 for 77 2021 (KC): 3 for 7 (yards) 2022 (Cincy): 4 for 35 2023 (KC) 3 for 21 1 TD, 293 yards, 51% catch rate over 7 elimination games. Compare that to 616 yards for the other 7 playoff games he has appeared in.

The biggest game every year is the final game. And in elimination games, he's not "crazy to win"....he's terrible, throughout his career.

You are conflating a discussion of why he came to Buffalo with one of why he took his recent deal (because "he's betting on himself").

we are discussing the fact that he’s not betting on himself

that's nice. see Happy Days and GunnerB above for more info....

links?

If this was 2012, 2014 or even 2016---or if his ACL was not surgically reconstructed at age 33---or if he was at all serviceable this past season a year out from his injury....you might have a point.

how will these people count to 10 in the future?

will you be starting more new threads about old topics as you hear about them, going forward?

wow 10 pages!

huge bust

He was due 18 million+ "for nothing", before restructuring. His current incentives may as well have included developing a home kit for nuclear fusion...

I think many want him to play to his contract. I doubt many will be cheering him on to make 20 more million dollars. You miss the point. 15 sacks gets him to his originally agreed upon salary. It's not really a "bonus". Plus this notion that he is "betting on himself" is silly---he had little chance but to accept this deal, given his age, recent injury and subsequent lack of production. Of course he came for the money--and Beane was happy to overpay. Why else would he be here?

hard pass on an oft injured 4 big season prima donna with maturity issues. we're full right now....

see above. 15 sacks to get the 9 million back. He has had one season over 15 many years ago.

It would be hard to imagine less effort. The guy has 180 million, 2 rings. A couple million more for some sacks I really don't think it does it for this guy at this point (he would need a ridiculous 15 sacks to get back to his original 2024 compensation). He's old and he came off a bad injury that old players don't just blast out of the gate from.

The Bills backup QB decisions since drafting Allen: Peterman Webb Derek Anderson Matt Barkely (twice!) Keenum Trubisky (twice) Kyle Allen lol

it was a huge factor.

The Bills just cut better players than Miller is right now. He came for the money....now you think he will play harder for less? unlikely.

NIL was absolutely a factor in him walking away. That and the modern college athlete in general. "I want to be clear that wasn't the reason, but some of those events certainly contributed," Saban said of his decision to retire. "I was really disappointed in the way that the players acted after the game. You gotta win with class. You gotta lose with class. We had our opportunities to win the game and we didn't do it, and then showing your ass and being frustrated and throwing helmets and doing that stuff ... that's not who we are and what we've promoted in our program." "Saban also talked about how the way the college football landscape is changing influenced his decision. He estimated that "maybe 70 or 80% of the players you talk to" wanted to know about their playing time for the upcoming season and how much they would be making in NIL money."

This signing never made sense. This guy is at his tail end, won 2 rings with 2 teams….what was his motivation joining the Bills, other than the money?
