Unfortunately they don’t have that choice. Still, the defense struggled all year with and without Milano. They need to get better upfront fist and foremost. Let him walk. This my point, why pay big money when neither guy could even slow Kelce down. Upgrade the position if your paying big bucks 1
Southern_Bills Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Well he shouldn't get it from Buffalo, hopefully for him he finds what he wants. Our lack of ability to cover TEs (all TEs not just kelce, we were nearly worst in the league against them) doesn't scream keep the band together. Get Edmunds some help, Edmunds isn't all pro level but he definitely has potential. 2

Milano is our better LB and if Edmunds was a FA first I think we’d keep Milano over him.

dpberr Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Rough year to hit FA for the first time. If there's no indication fans can return to stadiums where it makes real money for teams, I expect most of the league to mind those expenses again this year and keep the powder dry.
Niagara Dude Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 4 minutes ago, SCBills said: I don't even want to pay Milano fair dollar, simply because I don't think it makes sense to pay two linebackers big money with a top tier QB1 contract hitting the books. Definitely not on board with paying him top dollar for the position. If Edmunds is who McDermott wants to hitch his wagon to, pay him next year and sign a cheaper vet or draft a LB or two to compete for the other spot. I believe our brand is higher, we should no longer be paying huge money for average talent. We should get the same type of deals the Patriots were getting on solid vet players. Enough of this overpaying nonsense, 1 1 1
UKBillFan Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Either Beane or McDermott said in their post season press conference that Milano deserved the chance to do the best for him but, budget wise, we wouldn’t be able to pay him what he probably deserves so they must be planning for this. I think he can do a job for us if he returns but otherwise best of luck to him.

Who do you recommend that can stop Kelce? I would need to look at who is available but you can cross our two guys off that list for sure and your not getting past KC unless you stop him & Hill

Unless lucky enough to catch them on an off day they won’t be kept to a low score. 2
Bob in STL Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 1 hour ago, First Round Bust said: well Cody Ford comes back to the right side so I think he slides to RT so the RG is the open starter (I expect Ike B to be tendered brought back as well at LG). Feliciano at RG is cheaper than a RT and he can slide to backup C - so the analysis is Ford versus Williams at RT...Wiliiams had 9 penalties and 7 sacks at RT last season. PFF had Williams as the 40th best FA avail with Milano as the 37th FWIW Replacing Williams with Ford at RT is a step down. Unless Ford develops better tackle mobility and stays healthy- two things he has yet to do. Replacing Milano with a rookie could also be a step down. I hope at least one of Williams or Milano can be retained.

Success Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 If he could stay healthy, MAYBE. But he hasn't shown that he can. Could be bad luck, or it could be his style of play, but it's too risky to break the bank. Would love to keep him, but it seems unlikely.
Figster Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Myself personally, I think its important a team keeps the core group of players that it deems most valuable to avoid regression. I put Milano in the top 3 MVP on D IMO. Edited February 1, 2021 by Figster

People here are ridiculous to think so. We need gamechangers. Even if people aren't sold on Edmunds, he has game-changing potential. Yes, it's frustrating that he only flashes that potential and everything else is chalked up to his youth, but it's there. That's who you pay. Not Milano.. the definition of above average player who is NOT an impact player. 3
BuffaloRebound Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Culture maker? Guess he wants to let it be known he’s ok going to a rebuilding team as long as they pay him.
