He has taken at least $4m less than his market value over the term of the deal. Excellent post! Awesome deal for the team, and of course Tre! He deserves it, great player great person! This team is building something really special, next up Milano then Edmunds and obviously Josh

aristocrat Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Excellent deal for the best player on the team!
ColoradoBills Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I'll "duck and cover" after this question: People still think that Milano will ask for 14 million per? 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. 1
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I'm really giddy about this. I'm very happy for Tre.

I'm very curious to know the logic behind both sides of this deal, as I agree it's surprising to see a deal after only 3 years. Tre - Get the guaranteed money now, before a possible cap reduction next year and have another shot at FA? If he waited until next year, assuming the cap doesn't drop, he could have probably gotten 2-3 more a year and more guaranteed. Also, does he know the big plan and is trying to help the team sign everyone? Milano this year, other guys next year, etc... Bills - Why pay him this year when they still have Milano to lock up, if he's even in the plans? They won't franchise Milano next year have no leverage to retain him. Does the money of this deal actually free more money up? I'm curious to know how this structure affects the big plan. Side note, how is Murphy still on the team and I guess that puts an end to the dream of Clowney on a one year deal From my understanding his cap doesn’t go up for 2 more years.. so this shouldn’t affect Milano.. also the higher cap number will go up in 2022 so by then Tre won’t even be close to being the highest paid corner... think the only new money he gets now is his signing bonus... I’m not a lawyer though so I don’t know...

MJS Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Very nice. Really hope they can retain Milano too.

Tre needs to work on pointing at other guys and looking exasperated with their mistakes when he gets beat. He’s kind of weak in that area. 1 3 1
GreggTX Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Great news! Let's hope the new Norman is the old Norman too.

Regardless if the cap drops, he's arguably the best corner in the league right now. Locking him up a lower price and not having to negotiate his deal and Milano's at the same time is a huge benefit. For Tre, the uncertainty is probably a factor. I suspect it will be a large deposit into his bank account tomorrow allowing the people managing his money to invest it right away and have at least an extra year of investment income which can be substantial.

He’s kind of weak in that area. Fair criticism. I also noticed that a bit last year. I'm sure he can work those kinks out. He seems to be a process "continual improvement" type. 1
MiltonWaddams Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 This deal is as good as we could have hoped for. I would’ve loved to have seen an extra year tacked on, but this gives it a little more certainty in the post Covid world. Love the player, love the deal. 1
No_Matter_What Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Great deal for Bills. This cemented my belief that Milano will stay for less than market value too.

There's no way an extra year would have been added. It's already going to cover him for 6 seasons since it's not voiding the 5th year of his rookie deal which I absolutely expected to happen. 1

I thought it was a four year beginning in 2020. Now I can unequivocally say that I love the deal 2
