Milano will take his cue from Tre and get a fair deal for both sides. If Tre wanted to he could of held out for a lot more $s and asked for the 5th year option to be dropped. What??? Did someone actually suggest Milano would get 14 mil per? No Fing Way. 1 1

NewEra Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Grats Tre. We couldn’t have asked for a better representative for our team. Denver shooting guard Gary Harris is playing on a 4 year 84 mill contract. Jag SG vs all pro lockdown cornerback

I was told here literally dozens of times over the last twelve months or so that this would not happen for most likely two more years, but one at the absolute minimum, that it happening this year was an impossibility. Someone must not have told Beane and Tre how impossible it was.

That is the other side of the decent annual average. But I still think great deal. Yup. Both sides do well here. Haven't yet seen the numbers on the signing bonus, but with that guarantee, Tre is going to feel that his family is in a very very safe place as of now. Waiting for two more years was an injury risk. This is a smart move for Tre, and equally smart for the team. You only do this deal with a guy you're really confident is a great citizen. Tre has showed every sign of being that kind of guy, responsible, a worker, a leader. Not to mention talented and a tremendous fit in the McDermott system. Edited September 6, 2020 by Thurman#1 1

I'd be shocked if they pay him $14 m per year. I'm thinking they will offer him a 4 year $40 million contract with $30M or so guaranteed. Milano is the kind of player they want, he fits the defense perfectly. But, there is only so much money to go around with a team full of up and coming stars. I think you're low here, myself. You're right that good teams have to say goodbye to some guys they'd rather keep. But the McDermott system needs a guy - and has historically shown willingness to pay very well indeed - who can play very well at Milano's position. My bet is that if they do re-sign him, and I'm betting the odds are pretty good, that he gets closer to $14 mill a year than to the $10 you suggest. We'll see.

I would be outright shocked if Milano’s deal is more than $10M per season. That’s a great contract for a 4-3 WILL. 1

No way do I see Matt Milano banking $14 mil per from us. None, Where did this ***** start? Edited September 6, 2020 by beerme1

Yes, this was good to see get done. Winfield was one of my favorite CBs because of the way he tackled, especially for a guy his size. He just didn’t miss tackles.
BuffBillsForLife Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Great value for probably our best player. Like others have said I'm extremely happy we got his deal done before Ramsey got paid. Sadly I feel like this means there's no way we pay Milano now, at least not a number that he would accept.
KGun12TD Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Is “Ralph is cheap” still a thing? Asking for a friend.
Buddo Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Tbh, I think that's a great deal for both sides. If Tre is locked up through 2025, then we get him for around $12 million per, which is terrific in respect of cap management. The big guarantee gets Tre his security, and also gives him the chance of another payday. I don't know how much will be coming 'off the books' this year, but I would think there's a chance we could also get Milano done, especially as he supposedly 'just wants to be here.' I'm not thinking in terms of any discount, but if a player wants to be somewhere, then negotiations always go smoother.
