Well, let me explain it to you more succinctly. If you are a grown man your parents shouldn’t be getting involved in your professional life. 3

IgotBILLStopay Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 re Khalil Mack comparison, Mack was 3 yrs younger when traded. So compensation should not be as high for a Miller trade. So definitely shdnt offer #9. That said there was hardly a drop off in Millefr's perf this season.

Von Miller will be 30 in March and he's still performing at a high level with 14.5 sacks. You put him on the other side of Jerry Hughes, go out and draft Dexter Lawrence DT and all the sudden you got a dominant front 4. But 17 million that's a lot of cake, tough call. Plus what do you have to give up?

Call me old fashioned, but it’s weird. But it's not weird for the other thousands of people to have an opinion about how football teams are run? It's just weird because it's his mom? Football players are public personas, as are the people who run the teams. Being in the public spotlight means that people are going to have opinions on how things are done. Whether it's by your mother, your father, your fifth cousin twice removed, some guy you knew in high school, or the fans. They all have opinions and a platform to share their opinion. I guarantee there have been times where you have questioned the Bill's management or players about all the stupid things they have done. Only difference is you're not related to them, so it doesn't go viral Also, you say in public.

Can you imagine Kent Hull’s mom complaining to the news? Or Lawrence Taylor’s mom? Or literally any grown man you’ve ever met older than 25 years old? So you don't deal with people between the ages of roughly 20 and 50? What planet are you living on? Also, LT's mom and/or Kent Hull's mom had their own set of opinions. People having opinions isn't a new thing. They just didn't have a platform (Twitter/Instagram/Whatever else) to espouse their (likely) stupid ideas You're blaming kids for parents who can't control themselves or don't realize that they are in the public's eye.

Plus what do you have to give up? The problem isn't the $17 million per year salary - the Bills can easily afford that (without having to get into salary cap accounting gimmicks.) The problem is the one or more first round picks that Elway will demand to trade him. Denver isn't letting him go cheap - they know what they have in him.
Jasovon Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I don't think anyone is going to trade for von Miller's mother. Maybe the raiders

You assume a great career continues easily through 3 more seasons?? i guess there’s a ten percent chance. this is football, they aren’t even guaranteed getting through the next practice..... Guys like Miller burn out in a second, unfortunately.
RobbRiddick Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 The only mom I'd trade for is AJ McCarron's 1 1
thenorthremembers Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 My real confusion here is why everyone here seems to think the only two generations in the last forty years are millenials and baby boomers. Have a feeling that points to the greater underlying problem. Also 1987 wasn't the random cut in date for being a millenial. 1
Moulds_80 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Want an example of a "millenial" parent interfering with professional lives? Lavar Ball this is just a mom who is obviously looking out for her son and in her mind is supporting him. Bad idea? sure. But you cant knock her for it Im pretty sure busting his a** to get him to the nfl takes himout of the "millenial" category. Nice try 1
Beast Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I’ll throw in an extra first if his mother stays in Denver. 2
